A delightful combination of soft, cinnamon-sweet dough and savory breakfast sausage, perfect for brunch gatherings.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 can of refrigerated cinnamon roll dough
  • 8 breakfast sausages
  • 1 tablespoon of maple syrup (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven. Set your oven to the temperature specified on the cinnamon roll dough package and position a rack in the center.
  2. Open the can of cinnamon roll dough and remove the rolls, working on a lightly floured surface.
  3. Flatten each roll into a disc about 1/4 inch thick.
  4. Place a sausage in the center of each disc and wrap the dough around it, sealing the edges.
  5. Arrange the wrapped sausages on a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving space between each.
  6. Bake until golden brown, following the baking time on the cinnamon roll package.
  7. Finish and garnish with maple syrup and powdered sugar, if desired.
  8. Serve warm and enjoy.

Notes

For make-ahead tips, store wrapped sausages in the fridge for up to 24 hours before baking, or freeze for up to 1 month.
