Sausage Cream Cheese Crescents
These crescent rolls are stuffed with a savory mixture of sausage, cream cheese, and shredded cheese, making them a perfect appetizer or snack for any occasion.
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground sausage breakfast or Italian sausage
- 8 oz cream cheese softened
- 1 cup shredded cheese cheddar or mozzarella
- 2 cans refrigerated crescent rolls 8 crescents each can
- Pinch of pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage until browned and fully cooked, breaking it into crumbles. Drain excess fat and set aside.
- In a medium bowl, mix the cooked sausage with softened cream cheese until smooth. Stir in shredded cheese and a pinch of pepper to taste.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or grease it lightly. Open the cans of crescent dough and separate into triangles.
- Place a spoonful (about 1-2 tablespoons) of the sausage and cream cheese mixture in the center of each triangle. Roll up from the wide end, tucking in the sides to enclose the filling.
- Place the rolled crescents seam-side down on the baking sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed.
- Let the crescents cool for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
Serve with dipping sauces like ranch or marinara for added flavor.
