Main Ingredients
  • 1 can crescent roll dough
  • 1 lb breakfast sausage Cooked until browned
  • 1 cup shredded cheese Optional but recommended
  • 1 each egg For egg wash
  • to taste salt and pepper

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage, breaking it apart with a spatula until it’s browned and fully cooked. Season with salt and pepper.
  3. Open the can of crescent roll dough and unroll it. Separate the triangles.
  4. If using cheese, sprinkle a little on each triangle before adding the sausage mixture.
  5. Place a spoonful of the sausage mixture at the wider end of each triangle and roll them up tightly towards the tip.
  6. Place the rolls on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they have space to expand.
  7. Beat the egg in a small bowl and brush it over the tops of the rolls for a golden finish.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
  9. Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
