Ingredients
Scale
Main Protein:
- 10 breakfast sausages (links or mini-links)
Dough and Wrapping:
- 1 can (8 ounces / 227 grams) pre-made crescent roll dough
Finishing and Optional Toppings:
- 1 egg (for egg wash)
- Optional: sesame seeds
- Optional: poppy seeds
Instructions
- Warm the oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper for optimal non-stick performance.
- Carefully unfold the crescent roll dough on a flat surface, gently separating each triangle with precision.
- Position a single sausage at the broader end of each triangular dough section, then meticulously roll towards the pointed tip, ensuring a snug and secure wrap.
- Create an egg wash by whisking an egg with a minimal amount of water, then delicately brush the surface of each wrapped sausage for a glossy golden finish.
- For added texture and visual appeal, sprinkle sesame or poppy seeds across the top of the assembled pastries.
- Transfer the prepared rolls to the preheated baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes, watching for a rich golden-brown color and puffy texture.
- Once baked, remove from the oven and allow a brief cooling moment before serving alongside your preferred dipping sauce for a delightful breakfast treat.
Notes
- Prep Ahead Magic: Roll and assemble these delightful breakfast bites the night before, storing them covered in the refrigerator to save morning cooking time.
- Gluten-Free Swap: Replace crescent roll dough with gluten-free puff pastry or almond flour-based dough for those with wheat sensitivities.
- Protein Power-Up: Use turkey or chicken sausages for a leaner protein option that’s lower in fat but still packed with flavor.
- Spice It Up: Sprinkle shredded cheese inside before rolling or add a dash of herbs like chives or paprika for an extra flavor kick that’ll wake up your taste buds.
