Ingredients
- 8 links chicken sausage
- 2 cans ready-to-bake croissant dough
- 1 large egg
- 4 tablespoons unsweetened protein powder
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon milk
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a small bowl, beat together the egg, milk, salt, and pepper. Set aside.
Step 3
Cook the chicken sausage links according to the package instructions until fully cooked. Once cooked, set aside to cool slightly.
Step 4
Unroll the croissant dough and separate along the perforated lines into individual triangles.
Step 5
Sprinkle 1/2 tablespoon of unsweetened protein powder evenly over each triangle of dough.
Step 6
Place a cooked sausage link at the wide end of each dough triangle. Sprinkle a little shredded cheddar cheese over the sausage.
Step 7
Starting from the wide end, roll up the croissant dough, encasing the sausage and cheese. Place each rolled croissant seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 8
Brush the top of each croissant with the egg mixture to give a glossy finish.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, until the croissants are golden brown and puffed.
Step 10
Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes on a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.
