Ingredients
- 1 lb roll breakfast sausage, cooked and crumbled
- 1 package cream cheese (8 oz), softened
- 2 cans refrigerated crescent rolls (8 oz each)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375ºF (190ºC) to get it ready for baking the crescent rolls.
- Prepare Filling: In a bowl, combine the cooked and crumbled breakfast sausage with the softened cream cheese. Mix well until thoroughly blended.
- Prepare Crescent Rolls: Separate the crescent roll dough into triangles as indicated on the packaging. Then, cut each triangle lengthwise in half to create smaller triangular pieces.
- Fill and Roll: Using a small cookie scoop or spoon, place a portion of the sausage and cream cheese mixture onto the wide end of each crescent triangle. Carefully roll each triangle up, starting from the wide end, ensuring the filling stays inside.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the rolled crescents on a baking sheet, positioning them with the seam side down to prevent unrolling during baking.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until the crescent rolls are golden brown and fully cooked through. Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving.
Notes
- For a spicier version, use spicy breakfast sausage or add a pinch of crushed red pepper to the filling.
- Make sure the cream cheese is softened to ensure easy mixing with the sausage.
- Serve warm for best flavor and texture.
- These can be prepared ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator, then baked just before serving.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated in the oven to retain crispness.
