Instructions

- Place a slice of cooked sausage on the wide end of each crescent triangle. Sprinkle a little cheddar cheese and parsley (if using) over the sausage.
- Roll the crescent dough starting at the wide end, and roll towards the point to form a crescent shape. Pinch the edges to seal them if necessary.
- Place the rolled crescent rolls on the prepared baking sheet.

Notes
You can substitute the sausage links with breakfast sausage patties; just make sure they are sliced to fit the crescent rolls.
For added flavor, try incorporating some spices into the sausage mixture or using different types of cheese.
These rolls can be made ahead of time and reheated in the oven for a quick breakfast option.
