Sausage Cream Cheese Crescents
Ingredients:
1 lb (450g) ground sausage (breakfast sausage works well)
1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened
2 cans refrigerated crescent rolls (8 rolls per can)
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional for added flavor)
1/2 teaspoon onion powder (optional)
Salt and pepper to taste
1 egg (for egg wash, optional)
Instructions:
Cook the Sausage:
In a large skillet, cook the sausage over medium heat until browned and fully cooked, breaking it apart as it cooks. Drain any excess fat.
Mix the Filling:
In a medium bowl, combine the cooked sausage with the softened cream cheese. Stir until the mixture is well blended and creamy.
Add garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper to taste. Set aside.
Prepare the Crescents:
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Unroll the crescent rolls and separate them into triangles.
Place a heaping tablespoon of the sausage and cream cheese mixture on the wide end of each crescent roll.
Roll and Bake:
Roll each crescent starting at the wide end, and tuck the sides as you go to keep the filling inside.
Place the crescent rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or lightly greased.
Optional: Brush the tops with a beaten egg for a golden finish.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crescent rolls are golden brown and cooked through.
Serve:
Let the crescent rolls cool for a few minutes before serving. These are perfect as a party appetizer, breakfast treat, or snack!
