Ah, you’re talking about a deliciously easy appetizer! “Sausage cream cheese crescents” are usually made with crescent roll dough, cream cheese, and sausage (often breakfast sausage), baked until golden and melty. Here’s a simple breakdown:
Ingredients
- 1 can of crescent roll dough (8 count)
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 lb sausage (breakfast sausage works great)
- Optional: shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, chives
Instructions
- Cook the sausage: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage until browned. Drain excess grease.
- Mix with cream cheese: In a bowl, combine the warm sausage with softened cream cheese. Optional: add shredded cheddar or seasonings.
- Prepare crescents: Unroll the crescent dough and separate it into triangles.
- Fill and roll: Spoon a portion of the sausage-cream cheese mixture onto the wide end of each triangle. Roll the dough toward the tip to enclose the filling.
- Bake: Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 12–15 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Serve warm: Enjoy as an appetizer or breakfast treat!
If you want, I can give you a shortcut version that uses refrigerated biscuits instead of crescent dough, which is even faster and mess-free.
Do you want me to do that?
