Ingredients
Ingredients
- 8 breakfast sausage links
- 1 can refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 1 tablespoon melted butter
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon sesame seeds or everything seasoning (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
- Prepare Dough: Unroll the refrigerated crescent roll dough onto a clean surface and separate it into individual triangles along the perforations.
- Wrap Sausages: Place one breakfast sausage link at the wide end of each dough triangle. Roll the dough tightly around the sausage, starting from the wide end and rolling towards the point to completely encase the sausage.
- Place on Baking Sheet: Position each rolled sausage seam side down on the prepared baking sheet to prevent unraveling during baking.
- Brush with Butter: Using a pastry brush, gently coat the tops of each wrapped sausage with melted butter for a golden finish and added flavor.
- Add Seasonings: Sprinkle garlic powder or your preferred seasoning such as sesame seeds or everything bagel seasoning on top if desired to enhance taste.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and serve warm. These are delicious on their own or paired with maple syrup, honey mustard, or other favorite dips.
Notes
- Serve with maple syrup or honey mustard for dipping to add sweet or tangy flavor.
- Add a slice of cheese on top of each sausage link before rolling the dough for a cheesy variation.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; reheat before serving.
