These mini sausage croissants are a delicious and easy breakfast or brunch option that can be made in under 30 minutes. The flaky crescent dough provides the perfect base for the savory, juicy sausage links inside. These croissants are a great option for busy mornings or when you need a quick meal to take with you on the go.

Instructions

1.	Preheat the oven to 375°F.
2.	Unroll the crescent dough and separate into 8 triangles. Cut each triangle in half lengthwise to make 16 smaller triangles.
3.	Place one sausage link on the widest part of each triangle and roll the dough around the sausage, tucking in the edges to seal. Place the croissants seam-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
4.	Optional: Beat the egg white and brush it over the croissants using a pastry brush. Spread a small amount of cream cheese over each croissant using a knife or small spatula.
5.	Bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown. Serve hot.
