How to Make Easy Crescent Sausage And Cheese Appetizers

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly grease with non-stick cooking spray.
Unroll one 8-ounce can of refrigerated crescent roll dough and separate into 16 triangles along the perforations.
Spread 1 teaspoon of honey Dijon mustard onto each crescent triangle.
Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of shredded Gruyère or cheddar cheese over the mustard on each triangle.
Place one-quarter of a cooked sausage (about 1 inch) onto the wide end of each triangle.
Starting at the wide end, tightly roll each crescent triangle around the sausage, tucking in the edges to seal.
Place the sausage rolls seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
(Optional) Cover and refrigerate for up to 24 hours before baking.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the crescent rolls are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
