Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound breakfast sausage
- 1 can (8 ounces) refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard (optional)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives (optional)
- Cooking spray or oil for greasing
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a baking sheet with cooking spray.
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage until browned and crumbly. Drain any excess grease and remove from heat.
- Open the can of crescent roll dough and unroll it onto a clean surface. Separate it into triangles.
- In a bowl, mix the cooked sausage with shredded cheddar cheese, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, and chives, if using.
- Place a spoonful of the sausage mixture at the wide end of each crescent triangle.
- Roll the dough tightly around the filling, starting at the wide end and pinching the ends to seal them.
- Arrange the rolled bombs on the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
- Experiment with different cheeses like pepper jack or mozzarella.
- Add finely chopped vegetables such as bell peppers, spinach, or mushrooms to the filling for extra nutrition.
- Enhance the flavor with herbs like parsley or spices like smoked paprika.
- For a different texture, try using refrigerated biscuit dough.
- Brush the tops with melted butter after baking for a glossy finish.
- Consider variations like turkey sausage, bacon and egg, vegetarian options, or international flavors.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
- To freeze, place cooled bombs in a freezer bag and freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 15-20 minutes.
