Creating these enticing sausage bombs invites the joy of sharing delicious bites with family and friends. It’s a simple and quick recipe to follow, yet it yields a delightful explosion of flavours from the sausage, cheese, bacon and the flaky crescent roll.
## How to Make Sausage Bombs
Essentially, making sausage bombs is a fun and hassle-free process. It involves wrapping a fully cooked sausage link with a cheese mixture inside a crescent roll, brushing with an egg wash, and then baking until golden brown.
## Ingredients
– 1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough
– 8 fully cooked sausage links
– 4 oz cream cheese, softened
– 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
– 1 cup cooked and crumbled bacon
– 1 tbsp chopped fresh chives (optional)
– 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
## Directions
1. **Preheat Oven**: Start by setting your oven to preheat at 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. **Prepare the Dough**: Unroll the pack of crescent roll dough and divide it into triangles. Each triangle should then be cut into half to give you two smaller triangles.
3. **Make the Filling**: In a separate bowl, blend the cream cheese, shredded cheddar, crumbled bacon, and chives.
4. **Wrap the Sausages**: Position a sausage link at the wide end of each dough triangle. Layer a reasonable amount of the cheese blend over the sausage.
5. **Roll Up and Seal**: Roll the dough around the sausage and cheese filling, ensuring the edges are sealed tightly.
6. **Egg Wash**: Lightly brush each sausage bomb with the beaten egg. This gives them a golden crust when baked.
7. **Bake**: Place your prepared sausage bombs on the baking sheet and bake for about 12-15 minutes, or until they turn golden brown and puffy.
8. **Allow to Cool and Serve**: Allow a little cooling time before serving. Savour them as is, or with your preferred dipping sauce!
## How to Serve Sausage Bombs
These Sausage Bombs are perfect as is. However, serving them with a side of spicy, tangy, or sweet dipping sauce can enhance the overall flavour. You could also pair them with a refreshing salad or some crunchy slaw for added texture.
## How to Store Sausage Bombs
Store any leftover sausage bombs in an airtight container inside the refrigerator for up to 3 days. You can reheat them in a preheated oven at 350°F (180°C) for approximately 10 minutes or until they are thoroughly warmed.
## Tips to make Sausage Bombs
– Ensure the crescent roll dough is fresh for the best texture.
– Make certain the edges of the dough are sealed properly around the filling to prevent leakage during baking.
– Brushing the tops with a beaten egg gives a beautiful golden crust. Don’t skip this step.
