Ingredients
  

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

1 package (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1/4 cup finely chopped green onions

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1 egg (for egg wash)

Cooking spray or parchment paper (for baking)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). If using a baking sheet, line it with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.

    Cook the Sausage: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage until it is browned and fully cooked, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon. Drain any excess grease.

      Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked sausage, shredded cheddar cheese, chopped green onions, garlic powder, and black pepper. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly combined.

        Prepare the Crescent Rolls: Open the package of crescent roll dough and carefully unroll it on a clean surface. Separate the dough into individual triangles.

          Fill the Crescent Rolls: Scoop about 1 tablespoon of the sausage mixture onto the wide end of each crescent triangle. Starting from the wide end, roll the dough up toward the point, enclosing the filling.

            Brush with Egg Wash: In a small bowl, beat the egg. Using a pastry brush, lightly brush the tops of the rolled crescent rolls with the egg wash for a golden finish.

              Bake: Place the filled crescent rolls on the prepared baking sheet with the pointed end facing down. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.

                Cool and Serve: Once baked, remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your savory breakfast sausage crescent rolls warm, perfect for a hearty breakfast or brunch.
