Crescent Sausage Rolls

This is my version of a recipe that was printed in recent magazine. I couldn't get that recipe to work for me; however, with a little patience this was the end result. The sausage I used was a pork and turkey sausage blend.

Ingredients

• 1⁄2 lb bulk pork sausage
• 1  garlic clove, minced

• 1  egg, lightly beaten (or egg substitute)
• 1 (8 ounce) package  refrigerated crescent dinner rolls

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Brown the sausage and garlic, drain well.
3. Stir the snipped chives, basil and cheddar cheese into the drained sausage.
4. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and separate the crescent rolls into 4 rectangles.
5. Lightly roll the cresent rolls out, sealing at the perforations.
6. Brush each lightly with a portion of the beaten egg, top with sausage mixture and roll up from a long side.
7. If necessary, pinch seams to seal, brush with remaining egg, sprinkle with seasame seeds if desired and bake for 15 to 20 minutes.
