Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 1 (8-ounce) package refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 1/2 pound breakfast sausage (pork or turkey)
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) to get it ready for baking the crescent rolls.
- Cook the Sausage: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage until it’s browned and fully cooked, breaking it into small crumbles as it cooks. Drain any excess grease afterward.
- Mix the Filling: Transfer the cooked sausage to a mixing bowl. Add the softened cream cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and shredded cheddar cheese if using. Stir everything together until well combined.
- Prepare the Dough: Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into triangles along the perforations.
- Assemble the Rolls: Spoon about one tablespoon of the sausage mixture onto the wide end of each triangle. Roll each piece of dough up toward the pointed end, encasing the filling inside.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the rolled crescent rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, ensuring they are spaced apart.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 11 to 13 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and cooked through.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the rolls to cool slightly on a rack before serving to avoid burning your mouth and to let the flavors set.
Notes
- Perfect as appetizers, party snacks, or a quick breakfast option.
- Make ahead and reheat in the oven or air fryer for convenience.
- Try adding chopped green onions or jalapeños to the filling for an extra kick of flavor.
