Instructions
-
Heat oven to 375 °F. Line large cookie sheet with Reynolds® Parchment Paper.
-
Unroll dough on work surface; separate into 12 breadsticks. Pinch ends of 2 breadsticks together to make 1 long breadstick; roll into 18-inch rope. Repeat with remaining dough to make 6 (18-inch) ropes. Lightly brush breadsticks with water. Place 6 cilantro leaves evenly along each breadstick; gently twist 2 to 3 times into 22-inch rope. Coil each rope into 3-inch spiral shape, tucking ends under and pinching to seal. Place 2 inches apart on cookie sheet. Brush lightly with water; sprinkle with sesame seed.
-
Bake 13 to 19 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from cookie sheet to cooling rack.
-
Meanwhile, in small bowl, mix coleslaw mix, vinegar, chopped cilantro and 1/8 teaspoon salt; set aside.
-
Shape sausage into 6 (3 1/2-inch) patties. In 12-inch skillet, cook patties over medium heat 5 to 6 minutes, turning twice, until meat thermometer inserted in center of patties reads 160 °F. Place 1 cheese slice on each patty. Cover; remove from heat.
-
Drain coleslaw mixture. Cut each roll in half horizontally. Top bottom half of each roll with 1 patty, 2 rounded tablespoons coleslaw mixture and top half of roll. Garnish with additional cilantro, if desired.
