Crescents with Cream Cheese Sausage

recip


  • 1 lb ground breakfast sausage (mild or spicy, depending on preference), cooked and crumbled
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or your favorite melting cheese)
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives or green onions (optional, for added freshness)
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

For Assembly:

  • 1 can (8-count) refrigerated crescent roll dough
  • Optional: 1 egg, beaten (for an egg wash to achieve a golden crust)

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it for easy cleanup.

2. Prepare the Filling

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked sausage, softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, and chopped chives (if using). Stir until evenly mixed.
  2. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Set aside.

3. Assemble the Crescents

  1. Unroll the crescent dough and separate it into triangles.
  2. Spoon about 1–2 tablespoons of the sausage-cheese mixture onto the wider end of each triangle.
  3. Roll up each triangle from the wide end to the tip, enclosing the filling completely.
  4. Optional: Brush the tops of the crescents with beaten egg for a golden finish.

4. Bake

  1. Place the assembled crescents on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between them.
  2. Bake in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed.
  3. Optional: Broil for the last 1–2 minutes to achieve an extra golden crust (watch closely to avoid burning).

5. Serve and Enjoy

  1. Remove the crescents from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
  2. Optional: Garnish with additional chopped chives or green onions for added color and freshness.
  3. Enjoy every bite of these flaky, cheesy, and indulgent Crescents with Cream Cheese Sausage!
  4. Perfect as a standalone breakfast or paired with a side of fruit, hash browns, or a fresh salad for a complete meal.

Tips for Success

  • Use Fresh Ingredients: Freshly grated cheese and high-quality sausage make a noticeable difference in flavor.
  • Switch Proteins: Substitute sausage with bacon, ham, or plant-based alternatives for variety.
  • Add Mix-Ins: Stir in diced jalapeños, caramelized onions, or spinach for extra texture and flavor.
