Description

Make these easy Sausage Cream Cheese Crescents for a savory, flaky, and creamy treat! Perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a quick snack, these crescent rolls are filled with seasoned sausage and cream cheese—ready in just 25 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground sausage (mild, spicy, or breakfast sausage)
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 2 cans (8 ounces each) refrigerated crescent roll dough
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder (optional)
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional, for extra cheesiness)

Instructions

  1. Cook the Sausage
    In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage until fully browned, breaking it apart as it cooks. Drain any excess grease and transfer to a mixing bowl.
  2. Mix the Filling
    Add the softened cream cheese to the cooked sausage and stir until well combined. Mix in garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and shredded cheddar cheese if using.
  3. Prepare the Crescent Rolls
    Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Unroll the crescent dough and separate into individual triangles.
  4. Fill and Roll
    Place a spoonful of the sausage mixture onto the wide end of each crescent roll triangle. Gently roll up each triangle from the wide end to the point, enclosing the filling.
  5. Bake
    Arrange the filled crescents on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until golden brown.
  6. Serve and Enjoy
    Let cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy warm as a delicious breakfast, snack, or appetizer!

 

Notes
