Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 lb breakfast sausage (e.g., Jimmy Dean, spicy or regular)
  • 2 (8-ounce) cans refrigerated crescent roll dough
  • 1 large egg beaten
Egg Wash (Optional)
  • 1 tbsp milk or water to thin egg wash

Equipment

  • Oven
  • Large Skillet
  • Spoon
  • Cutting Board
  • Small Bowl
  • Whisk
  • Baking Sheet

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Cook breakfast sausage in a large skillet over medium heat, breaking it up until browned. Drain excess grease and cool slightly.
Assembly
  1. Unroll crescent roll dough and separate into 16 triangles. Spoon 1-2 tablespoons of cooked sausage onto the wide end of each triangle.
  2. Roll each crescent triangle from the wide end towards the pointed end, forming a crescent shape. Gently seal the edges to enclose the sausage.
Baking
  1. Whisk the beaten egg with milk or water for an egg wash. Place rolls on an ungreased baking sheet and brush tops generously with egg wash.
  2. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed. Let cool for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

Serve these warm for the best taste. They can be prepared ahead of time and refrigerated before baking, then baked as directed when ready to serve.
