Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 lb cooked and crumbled breakfast sausage
- 8 oz (226 grams) cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup (113 grams) shredded cheddar cheese
Dough and Base:
- 2 cans (8 oz / 226 grams each) refrigerated crescent roll dough
Seasonings:
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375F (190C), ensuring the rack is positioned in the center for even cooking.
- Thoroughly combine cooked and crumbled breakfast sausage with softened cream cheese, blending in shredded cheddar, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until the mixture is uniform and creamy.
- Unroll the crescent roll dough, separating each triangle carefully. Distribute the sausage and cheese filling generously along the wider portion of each triangle.
- Roll each crescent triangle from the wide end toward the point, tucking the edges slightly to prevent filling from leaking. Arrange the rolled crescents on an ungreased baking sheet with the pointed end underneath.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, watching for a golden-brown exterior that indicates complete cooking.
- Remove from the oven and let the crescents cool for 2-3 minutes. Transfer to a serving platter and enjoy while warm, perfect for casual gatherings or quick snacking.
Notes
- Soften Cream Cheese at Room Temperature to ensure smooth, easy mixing without lumps and achieve a creamy texture.
- Choose Lean Sausage for a healthier version, reducing overall fat content while maintaining delicious flavor profile.
- Try Cheese Variations like pepper jack or gouda to create unique taste experiences and add personal flair to the recipe.
- Gluten-Free Option can be achieved by using gluten-free crescent roll dough and checking sausage ingredients for potential gluten contamination.
