Here’s a super easy and delicious recipe for Sausage Cream Cheese Crescent Rolls—perfect for breakfast, snacks, or party appetizers:
Ingredients
- 1 can refrigerated crescent roll dough (8 oz, usually 8 triangles)
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup cooked breakfast sausage, crumbled (or use uncooked sausage, browned in a pan)
- ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional, for extra flavor)
- 1 tsp garlic powder (optional)
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash, optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. - Prepare the filling:
- If using raw sausage, cook it in a skillet over medium heat until browned and fully cooked. Drain excess grease.
- In a bowl, mix the cooked sausage with softened cream cheese and shredded cheddar cheese. Add garlic powder if desired.
- Assemble the rolls:
- Unroll the crescent dough and separate into triangles.
- Place a spoonful of the sausage mixture near the wide end of each triangle.
- Roll up each triangle, starting at the wide end and rolling toward the point.
- Optional egg wash:
Brush the tops with beaten egg for a golden, shiny finish. - Bake:
Bake for 12–15 minutes or until the crescent rolls are golden brown and fully cooked. - Serve:
Serve warm as a breakfast treat, snack, or party appetizer.
💡 Tips:
- You can add diced jalapeños or green onions for a spicy kick.
- These can be made ahead, assembled, and frozen before baking—bake straight from the freezer, adding a few extra minutes.
