Ingredients
1 (8-ounce) can refrigerated crescent roll dough
16 cocktail-sized smoked sausages
8 slices American processed cheese, cut in half (Optional)
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 375 Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly coat with cooking spray.
2. Separate crescent dough into triangles; cut each triangle in half lengthwise to create narrower strips.
3. Place one cocktail sausage on the wide end of each strip. If using cheese, add a small piece underneath the sausage.
4. Roll up the dough tightly around the sausage toward the point.
5. Place rolls, seam-side down, on the prepared baking sheet.
6. Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown and puffed, about 12 to 15 minutes.
7. Serve hot with your choice of dipping sauces.
Notes
Brushing the tops with an egg wash before baking creates a shiny, professional finish.
Always place the dough ‘point’ or seam-side down to prevent unrolling during the bake.
Pat the sausages dry with a paper towel before rolling to ensure the pastry stays crisp.
