Sausage Cream Cheese Crescents
Sausage Cream Cheese Crescent Rolls
Ingredients:
- 1 pound breakfast sausage (mild or spicy)
- 8 oz (225 g) cream cheese, softened
- 2 cans refrigerated crescent roll dough (8 rolls per can)
- Optional: ¼ cup chopped green onions or chives
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- Cook sausage:
- In a large skillet over medium heat, cook sausage until browned and crumbled.
- Drain excess fat.
- Make filling:
- In a bowl, combine cooked sausage with cream cheese until fully mixed.
- Stir in green onions if using.
- Assemble crescents:
- Unroll crescent dough and separate into triangles.
- Place a heaping spoonful of sausage-cream cheese mixture near the wide end of each triangle.
- Roll up, starting from the wide end toward the point, tucking in sides as needed.
- Bake:
- Place rolls on prepared baking sheet, point side down.
- Bake 12–15 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Serve warm!
Tips:
- These freeze well — assemble and freeze unbaked crescents, then bake straight from frozen (add 3–4 minutes to bake time).
- Make them bite-sized by cutting crescent triangles in half before filling.
