Description
These easy-to-make Breakfast Sausage Crescent Rolls are a delicious and savory treat perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a snack! With just three simple ingredients—bulk sausage, crescent rolls, and cheese—these rolls are bursting with flavor and sure to satisfy.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound bulk sausage
- 1 tube (8 ounces) refrigerated crescent rolls
- 2 cups shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese (or cheddar for extra flavor)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Cook Sausage: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage until it’s browned and crumbled. Drain any excess grease and set aside.
- Prepare Crescent Rolls: Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into triangles. Lay the triangles flat on a clean surface.
- Stuff and Roll: Place a small amount of cooked sausage and shredded cheese on the wide end of each crescent roll triangle. Roll each triangle tightly, starting from the wide end and rolling toward the pointed tip to encase the filling.
- Arrange in Baking Dish: Place the stuffed crescent rolls, seam-side down, in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish. Make sure they are snug but not overlapping too much.
- Top with Cheese (Optional): Sprinkle a little extra cheese over the top of the rolls if desired for a gooey finish.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15–18 minutes, or until the crescent rolls are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Serve: Let the rolls cool for 5 minutes, then serve warm. Enjoy them for breakfast, brunch, or as a tasty snack!
Notes
- For extra flavor, try using sharp cheddar cheese instead of mozzarella.
- You can add some spices like black pepper, garlic powder, or paprika to the sausage for more kick.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven to maintain the crispiness.
