FAQ:
Can I use a different type of dough? Yes, you can use puff pastry or phyllo dough if you prefer a different texture, though it may alter the baking time slightly.
Can I make these ahead of time? Absolutely! You can prepare the crescents up to the point of baking, then cover them tightly and refrigerate for up to 24 hours before baking. Just add a couple of extra minutes to the bake time if baking directly from the fridge.
Can I freeze these crescent rolls? Yes, you can freeze the unbaked crescents. Simply place them on a baking sheet and freeze until firm, then transfer them to a freezer bag. When you're ready to bake, just add 5-7 minutes to the baking time.
What kind of sausage should I use? Breakfast sausage is most commonly used, but feel free to use Italian sausage, chorizo, or any sausage you prefer. Just make sure it's cooked through before adding to the cream cheese mixture.
Can I make these without cream cheese? If you're not a fan of cream cheese, you can substitute with sour cream or even ricotta cheese, although the texture will vary.
