Ingredients
1 can crescent roll dough
8 fully cooked breakfast sausage links
4 slices cheddar cheese (optional)
2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey (optional)
1 egg
1 tablespoon water
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Unroll the crescent dough and separate it into triangles.
3. Place one cooked sausage link at the wide end of each triangle. Add a cheese slice if using.
4. Roll each triangle tightly around the sausage and place seam-side down on the baking sheet.
5. In a small bowl, beat the egg with the water to create an egg wash.
6. Brush the tops of each roll with the egg wash for a glossy finish.
7. Bake for 12–15 minutes or until golden brown.
8. Let cool slightly before serving. Drizzle with maple syrup if desired.
Notes
Let the sausages cool slightly before wrapping to avoid soggy dough.
Use pre-cooked sausages to speed up the process and keep texture firm.
Add cheese inside for extra flavor or brush with syrup on top for a sweet finish.
