Fluffy. Savory. Sweet & salty combo that hits every time.

✅ Ingredients (Makes 8 servings)
🧂 Base:
1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough
(or use homemade biscuit dough or pancake batter for variation)

8 fully cooked breakfast sausages (pork or turkey)

¼ cup shredded cheddar or American cheese (optional)

1 egg, beaten (optional for egg wash)

🥞 Optional Sweet Version:
Maple syrup, for dipping

Pancake batter (instead of dough)

Cinnamon sugar sprinkle (for a sweet crust)

🥣 Instructions
1. Prep the Sausages
If using raw sausages, cook them fully in a skillet and let cool slightly.

Pat dry to remove excess grease.

2. Preheat Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
