Ingredients
1 can refrigerated cinnamon rolls with icing
8 fully cooked breakfast sausage links
Optional: 1 tablespoon maple syrup or brown sugar
Optional: 1 pinch cayenne or black pepper
Optional: 1/4 cup shredded cheddar or mozzarella cheese
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or spray with non-stick spray.
2. Cook the sausages if raw or frozen, until browned and fully cooked. Let cool slightly.
3. Open the cinnamon roll can and separate each roll. Gently unroll or flatten each into a strip.
4. Place a sausage link at the end of each dough strip and roll it up, tucking the end under.
5. Arrange seam-side down on the baking sheet with space between each.
6. Bake for 13 to 15 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through.
7. Cool for 3–5 minutes, then drizzle with icing while warm. Serve immediately.
Notes
Let the cinnamon roll dough rest at room temperature for easier handling.
Make sure sausages are fully cooked before wrapping to ensure safety and flavor.
Don’t overbake—watch for golden color and soft texture inside.
