– 1 can (240g) crescent roll dough
– 100g shredded cheddar cheese
– 20g melted butter
– 5g sesame seeds (optional)

If you want an extra layer of taste, consider adding a tablespoon of your favorite herbs or spices to the cheese for a unique twist!
**Step-by-Step Instructions**
1. **Preheat your oven** to 190°C (375°F). The wonderful smell that fills your kitchen will be a nice preview of what’s to come!
2. **Open the can of crescent roll dough** and carefully separate the triangles. This part is always fun!
3. **Lay each triangle flat** on a clean surface, ready to be filled with deliciousness.
4. **Place one sausage and a sprinkle of cheddar cheese** on the wider end of each triangle. Why not be generous with the cheese? It makes everything better!
5. **Carefully roll the dough** and sausage toward the pointed end, ensuring everything is snug and secure.
6. **Place each crescent roll** on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, making sure they have a bit of space between them for even baking.
7. **Brush the tops with melted butter**—this will give them that golden brown color and rich flavor we crave! Add sesame seeds for a nice crunch and presentation.
8. **Bake in the preheated oven** for 12-15 minutes, or until they are golden brown and irresistible!
9. **Remove from the oven** and let them cool slightly before serving. Try to resist diving in too soon; the anticipation makes the first bite even better!
**Serving Suggestions**
These rolls pair perfectly with scrambled eggs or a refreshing fruit salad. You could also serve them with a side of yogurt and granola for a balanced breakfast!
**Pro Tips for Success**
– Ensure your oven is fully preheated to achieve the best texture.
– Use a gentle hand when rolling the crescents to avoid tearing the dough.
– Try experimenting with different cheeses or sausage flavors for varied tastes!
**Storing and Reheating**
If you have leftovers (which is rare!), store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. To reheat, pop them in the oven at 180°C (350°F) for about 5-7 minutes, so they regain their flaky texture.
**FAQ Section**
– **Can I use raw sausages?** Yes, but you will need to adjust the cooking time significantly to ensure they are fully cooked through.
– **Can these be frozen?** Absolutely! Freeze them before baking, and you can cook them directly from the freezer, just add a few extra minutes to the baking time.
