Sausage Cream Cheese Crescents are a delicious and savory treat that combines flaky, buttery dough with a creamy, cheesy sausage filling. They are perfect for parties, brunches, or as a quick snack, offering the right balance of richness and flavor in every bite.
Ingredients:
- 1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent rolls
- 1/2 pound breakfast sausage (spicy or mild, as preferred)
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- In a skillet, cook the breakfast sausage over medium heat, breaking it apart with a spoon until browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
- Add the cream cheese to the cooked sausage and stir until melted and combined. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the cheese is melted and the mixture is creamy.
- Open the can of crescent rolls and unroll the dough. Separate into the individual triangles.
- Place a heaping spoonful of the sausage and cream cheese mixture at the wide end of each crescent triangle. Roll the dough up tightly from the wide end to the point, securing the filling inside.
- Arrange the rolled crescents on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each one.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed up.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Garnish with chopped parsley, if desired, and serve warm.
