Description
Savory sausage rolls topped with a creamy sausage gravy frosting for a hearty breakfast.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package (14.1 ounces) refrigerated pie crusts
- 1 pound breakfast sausage, casings removed
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 3 cups whole milk
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Unroll the pie crusts onto a lightly floured surface. Cut each crust into six equal rectangles.
- Divide the sausage evenly among the rectangles, spreading it thinly over the surface of each piece, leaving a small border.
- Roll each rectangle tightly, starting from the long side, to form a log. Pinch the seams to seal. Cut each log in half to make two smaller rolls per crust piece, resulting in 12 rolls total. Place rolls seam-side down on the prepared baking sheets.
- Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the sausage is cooked through. Let cool slightly.
- While the rolls bake, make the gravy frosting. In a large saucepan over medium heat, brown any remaining sausage drippings or add 2 tablespoons of butter.
- Whisk in the flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
- Gradually whisk in the milk until smooth. Continue cooking, stirring often, until the gravy thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 5 to 7 minutes.
- Remove from heat. Stir in the salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper.
- Spoon or pipe the warm gravy over the tops of the warm sausage rolls like frosting. Serve immediately.
Notes
- You can prepare the sausage rolls ahead of time and refrigerate them for up to 24 hours before baking.
- For a thicker frosting, use slightly less milk when making the gravy.
