Ingredients
For this recipe, you will need the following ingredients:
- 1 package of refrigerated crescent rolls
- 6 breakfast sausage links
- 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup of diced onions
- 1/4 cup of diced bell peppers
- 1/4 teaspoon of salt
- 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon of garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon of dried oregano
- 1/4 teaspoon of dried parsley
- 1 tablespoon of olive oil
Steps
Follow these simple steps to make Breakfast Sausage Crescent Rolls:
Step 1: Preheat the oven
Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). This will ensure that your crescent rolls bake evenly and turn golden brown.
Step 2: Prepare the filling
In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onions and bell peppers, and cook until they become soft and translucent. Remove the casings from the breakfast sausage links and add the sausage meat to the skillet. Break it up with a spatula and cook until it is browned and cooked through. Season with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, dried oregano, and dried parsley. Stir well to combine all the flavors. Remove from heat and let the filling cool slightly.
Step 3: Assemble the crescent rolls
Unroll the crescent rolls and separate them into triangles. Place a spoonful of the sausage filling onto the wide end of each triangle. Sprinkle some shredded cheddar cheese on top of the filling. Roll up the crescent rolls starting from the wide end, tucking in the sides as you go. Place the rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving some space between them.
Step 4: Bake and serve
Place the baking sheet with the filled crescent rolls in the preheated oven. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the rolls are golden brown and puffed up. Remove from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving. These Breakfast Sausage Crescent Rolls are best enjoyed warm.
Keto and Low Carbs Variations
If you are following a keto or low-carb diet, you can make a few adjustments to this recipe. Instead of using regular crescent rolls, you can use low-carb or keto-friendly dough. There are many recipes available online for homemade low-carb dough using almond flour or coconut flour. Simply replace the regular crescent rolls with the low-carb dough and proceed with the recipe as usual. You can also use turkey or chicken breakfast sausage instead of pork sausage to reduce the fat content. Additionally, you can omit the diced onions and bell peppers if you prefer a simpler flavor profile.
Tips
Here are some tips to make the best Breakfast Sausage Crescent Rolls:
- Make sure to fully cook the sausage filling before assembling the crescent rolls. This will ensure that the sausage is cooked through and safe to eat.
- Feel free to customize the filling by adding other ingredients such as mushrooms, spinach, or sun-dried tomatoes.
- Serve the crescent rolls with a side of scrambled eggs and fresh fruit for a complete breakfast meal.
- If you have any leftovers, you can store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat them in the oven or microwave before serving.
