Instructions:
Step 1: Preparing the Sausage
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

- If desired, add a pinch of dried oregano for extra flavor.
Step 4: Rolling and Baking
- Roll each crescent triangle tightly, starting from the wide end toward the pointed tip, securing the filling inside.
- Arrange the rolls seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
- Brush the tops with melted butter for a golden, crispy finish.
- Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until the crescent rolls turn golden brown and the cheese is melted.
Step 5: Serving

- Serve warm with ketchup, hot sauce, or a side of scrambled eggs for a complete breakfast.
