Ingredients:
1 can of crescent roll dough
1/2 lb (about 225g) sausage (breakfast sausage works best)
8 oz (225g) cream cheese, softened
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 tablespoon fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions:
Preheat the oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Cook the sausage: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage until browned and fully cooked, breaking it apart with a spatula as it cooks. Once cooked, drain any excess fat and set the sausage aside to cool slightly.
Prepare the filling: In a medium bowl, combine the cooked sausage, softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until well mixed and creamy.
Assemble the crescents: Unroll the crescent dough on a clean surface and separate the triangles. Spoon a generous amount of the sausage and cream cheese mixture onto the wide end of each dough triangle.
Roll and bake: Carefully roll up each triangle, starting from the wide end, and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown and flaky.
Serve and enjoy: Once baked, remove the crescents from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
Tips for Serving and Storing:
Serving: These Sausage Cream Cheese Crescents are perfect for game day, holiday parties, or as a fun snack for family gatherings. Serve them alongside your favorite dipping sauces like marinara, ranch, or a tangy mustard dip.
Storing: If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply pop them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5-7 minutes until heated through.
