Ingredients
  

1 pound breakfast sausage (mild or spicy, your choice)

1 tablespoon maple syrup (optional, for a hint of sweetness)

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon garlic powder

½ teaspoon black pepper

1 package (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or cheese of your choice)

1 egg (for egg wash)

Fresh chives or parsley, finely chopped (for garnish, optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the oven: Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

    Prepare the sausage filling: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage until it's browned and fully cooked, breaking it apart with a spatula. Stir in the maple syrup, onion powder, garlic powder, and black pepper. Once combined, remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

      Roll out the dough: Unroll the crescent roll dough on a clean surface and pinch the seams together to create a large rectangle. You can gently stretch it out if needed to form an even layer.

        Assemble the rolls: Cut the rectangle into smaller triangles (following the perforations of the dough). Place about 1-2 tablespoons of the sausage mixture at the wide end of each triangle, then top with a sprinkle of shredded cheese.

          Roll them up: Starting from the wide end, carefully roll up each triangle towards the point, enclosing the filling. Pinch the edges to seal them and slightly tuck the ends under for a neat shape.

            Egg wash for shine: In a small bowl, whisk the egg. Brush the egg mixture over the tops of each crescent roll for a golden finish.

              Bake: Place the assembled rolls on the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until they are puffed up and golden brown.

                Garnish and serve: Once baked, remove the rolls from the oven and let them cool slightly. If desired, sprinkle with fresh chives or parsley before serving.

                  Enjoy: Serve warm and enjoy your delicious savory breakfast sausage crescent rolls!
