Simple Sausage Rolls (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
→ Base Ingredients
01 -
2 rolls of ready-to-bake crescent dough
02 -
1 pound of breakfast sausage (turkey or pork, your choice)
→ Cheese & Seasonings
03 -
1/2 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
04 -
1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded (or your favorite blend)
05 -
1/4 cup cream cheese, softened to room temp
06 -
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
→ Finishing Touch
07 -
1 whisked egg to give it that golden brown look (optional)
# Instructions:
01 -
Turn your oven to 375°F (190°C) and let it heat up. Place a parchment sheet or non-stick mat on your baking tray to stop sticking.
02 -
In a skillet on medium heat, brown the sausage until it's thoroughly cooked. Drain the grease, then set it aside to cool slightly.
03 -
In a big bowl, stir the cooled sausage together with shredded cheese, softened cream cheese, black pepper, and garlic powder until well blended.
04 -
Lay out the crescent dough and pull apart the triangles. Scoop a good amount of the sausage mix onto the wide end of each triangle, roll them up, and place them seam-first onto the prepared tray.
05 -
For an extra golden finish, brush the tops with a little beaten egg if you'd like.
06 -
Bake for about 12-15 minutes, or until they're golden brown and baked all the way through.
07 -
Dig in while they're hot! Pair them with mustard, ketchup, or a creamy gravy if you're feeling fancy.
# Notes:
