 Ingredients & Why They Work So Well

✅ 1 pound breakfast sausage (mild or spicy)

The star of the filling! Sausage adds bold, meaty flavor. Spicy sausage gives it a little heat, while mild keeps it kid-friendly.

✅ 8 oz cream cheese, softened

Cream cheese brings richness and creaminess that binds the sausage and makes the filling ultra-satisfying.

✅ 2 cans refrigerated crescent roll dough

Buttery and flaky crescent rolls wrap everything up in golden deliciousness. They bake up perfectly in under 15 minutes.

Optional add-ins: chopped green onions, shredded cheddar cheese, or a pinch of garlic powder for extra flavor.

 How to Make Sausage Cream Cheese Crescents (Step-by-Step)

 Step 1: Preheat & Prep

• Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

Step 2: Cook the Sausage

• In a skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage until fully browned and no longer pink.

• Break it up into crumbles as it cooks, then drain excess grease.

Step 3: Make the Filling

• In a large bowl, combine the cooked sausage with the softened cream cheese.

• Mix until smooth and fully blended. (Optional: fold in green onions or cheddar cheese.)

 Step 4: Assemble the Crescents

• Open crescent roll dough and separate into triangles.

• Add about 1 heaping tablespoon of filling to the wide end of each triangle.

• Roll up from the wide end to the narrow point, tucking the filling inside.

• Place on baking sheet point side down to prevent unrolling.

 Step 5: Bake

• Bake for 11–13 minutes, or until crescents are golden brown and puffy.

• Cool slightly before serving — the filling will be hot!
