Savory Sausage Breakfast Rolls

from Keeping Up with the Joneses.

These last few weekends have been lazy ones for us, which has led me to search for new breakfast recipes (see pancakes below). As soon as I saw these, I knew they had to be made.

I accidentally added the entire pound of sausage to the rolls (that's what happens when you Skype with your Dad to tell him Happy Birthday in the middle of cooking), but they still came out great. We are already looking forward to the leftovers tomorrow morning!

Ingredients:
1 can Crescent rolls or Crescent creation dough sheets
2 Tbsp butter, melted
2 tsp chopped fresh rosemary
1/4 tsp salt
8 oz sage (or regular) pork sausage
3/4 cup shredded Gruyere cheese
cooking spray

Instructions:

• Preheat oven to 350
• Cook and crumble the sausage. Drain the grease, or pat with paper towels.
• Chop the rosemary. In a small bowl, combine the sausage, rosemary and salt.
• Find lengthwise seam in dough. Beginning at seam, gently unroll dough into a rectangle on a lightly floured surface. Roll dough into a 13 x 8-inch rectangle; brush with melted butter, leaving a 1/2-inch border. Sprinkle sausage mixture evenly over dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border; top with cheese. Starting with a long side, roll dough up, jelly-roll fashion; press seam to seal (do not seal ends of roll). Cut 1 (1/2-inch-thick) crosswise slice from each end; discard. Slice roll crosswise into 12 (1/2-inch-thick) pieces; arrange in a 13 x 9-inch baking dish coated with cooking spray.
• Bake at 350° for 20 minutes or until golden.
