🧀 What Makes Them So Irresistible?
It’s all about the trio of simple ingredients that come together in one golden, flaky bite:

Sausage brings savory, spiced goodness — think country-style comfort.
Melted cheese oozes into every bite, making them rich, warm, and totally satisfying.
It’s a recipe that feels indulgent, but comes together in less than 30 minutes.
📝 Ingredients You’ll Need
1 can refrigerated crescent roll dough (8-count)
1/2 pound breakfast sausage (pork, turkey, or plant-based), cooked and crumbled
1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your favorite blend)
Optional: a pinch of garlic powder or dried herbs for extra flavor
Optional: 1 egg, beaten (for brushing tops for a golden finish)
👩🍳 How to Make Them
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cook the sausage in a skillet over medium heat until fully browned. Drain any excess grease and set aside.
Unroll the crescent dough and separate it into triangles.
Add the filling: Sprinkle each triangle with cooked sausage and a generous pinch of shredded cheese.
Roll ’em up: Starting at the wide end, roll each crescent toward the tip. Place seam-side down on the baking sheet.
Brush with egg wash (optional) and bake for 10–12 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbly.
Serve warm — and watch them disappear.
