Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 can (12.4 oz) refrigerated cinnamon rolls with icing Any brand like Pillsbury will work well.
  • 8 cooked breakfast sausage links Ensure they are pre-cooked and patted dry.

Equipment

  • 1 Baking Sheet
  • 1 Parchment Paper

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Open the can of cinnamon rolls, separate each of the 8 rolls, and set the icing packet aside.
  3. Unroll one cinnamon roll into a long strip of dough. Gently flatten the strip with your fingers or a rolling pin.
  4. Place one cooked sausage link at the end of the dough strip and tightly wrap the dough around it.
  5. Place the roll-up seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat for all 8 sausages.
  6. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and fully cooked.
  7. Let the roll-ups cool for a few minutes before drizzling with the icing. Serve warm.

Notes

Pat Sausage Dry: Removing excess grease helps the dough stick and prevents sogginess.
Don't Overcrowd: Leave at least 2 inches between each roll-up for even baking.
Warm the Icing: Microwave the icing packet for 3-5 seconds for a perfect drizzle consistency.
