Making Sausage Brunch Bites is as easy as following these simple steps:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or lightly greasing it.

2. Cook the Sausage: In a large pan, cook the ground sausage over medium heat until it’s browned and cooked through. Break it apart with a spatula as it cooks. Drain any excess grease.

3. Mix Ingredients: In a bowl, combine the cooked sausage, shredded cheese, green onions (if using), garlic powder, paprika, and black pepper. Mix until well blended.

4. Prepare Dough: Unroll the crescent roll dough on a flat surface and separate it into triangles as indicated on the packaging.

5. Fill Dough: Take a triangle of dough and add about a tablespoon of the sausage mixture near the wider end. Roll the dough around the filling towards the pointed end, sealing the edges well.

6. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the rolled bites on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each one.

7. Optional Egg Wash: If desired, beat the egg in a small bowl and brush it over the tops of the bites for a golden finish.

8. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until they are golden brown and flaky.

9. Cool: Remove the bites from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.

With these easy steps, you’ll have a plate full of Sausage Brunch Bites that are ready to be devoured!
