Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

Butter the baking pan.

Take 6 Johnsonville New Orleans Andouille sausages and set aside.

Flatten down the crescent rolls.

Place a slice of pepper jack cheese and a sausage on each flattened crescent roll and roll it up.

For the last two rolls, use two sausages instead of one.

Melt a couple tablespoons of butter and brush it on one side of the rolls.

Sprinkle parsley flakes on top of the buttered side.

Flip the rolls over and coat the other side with melted butter and parsley flakes.

Bake in the preheated oven for about 12-14 minutes, checking for doneness at 14 minutes.
