Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Lightly brown breakfast sausages in a skillet and let cool slightly.
Unroll crescent dough and separate into triangles.
Place one sausage at the wide end of each triangle and sprinkle with cheese if using.
Roll dough gently around sausage and place seam-side down on baking sheet.
Brush with melted butter and season lightly.
Bake for 12–15 minutes until golden and flaky.

Notes

Let crescent dough rest a few minutes at room temperature before rolling. These can be assembled ahead and baked fresh in the morning. Reheat leftovers in the oven for best texture.
