Here’s a simple, flaky, and super satisfying way to make Sausage & Cheese Crescent Rolls at home:
🥐 Ingredients
- 1 can refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 6–8 breakfast sausage links (or ½ lb ground sausage)
- 4–6 slices cheddar cheese (or any melty cheese you like)
- 1 tablespoon butter (optional, for brushing)
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
- ½ teaspoon dried parsley (optional)
👩🍳 Instructions
- Preheat oven
Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. - Cook the sausage
- If using links: cook them in a pan until browned and fully cooked.
- If using ground sausage: cook and crumble, then drain excess grease.
- Prepare the dough
Unroll the crescent dough and separate into triangles. - Add filling
Place a sausage (or spoonful of ground sausage) on the wide end of each triangle.
Add a strip or small piece of cheese on top. - Roll them up
Roll from the wide end to the tip, enclosing the filling. - Optional topping
Brush with melted butter and sprinkle garlic powder + parsley for extra flavor. - Bake
Bake for 12–15 minutes or until golden brown and flaky.
🔥 Tips & Variations
- Add a scrambled egg inside for a full breakfast roll.
- Try mozzarella, pepper jack, or even cream cheese for different flavors.
- Sprinkle sesame seeds or everything bagel seasoning on top before baking.
These come out buttery, crispy on the outside, and cheesy-savory on the inside—perfect for breakfast, snacks, or even party appetizers.
