Sausage Cream Cheese Crescents


1. Cook the Sausage

  1. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage until browned and fully cooked, breaking it into small crumbles as it cooks.
  2. Remove from heat and drain any excess grease. Let the sausage cool slightly.

2. Prepare the Filling

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked sausage, softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese (if using), green onion, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth and evenly combined.

3. Assemble the Crescents

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
  2. Unroll the crescent dough and separate it into triangles (or rectangles if using a crescent sheet).
  3. Spoon about 1–2 tablespoons of the sausage mixture onto the wide end of each triangle.
  4. Roll up the dough tightly from the wide end to the point, enclosing the filling completely. Place the crescents on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly.

4. Bake

  1. Optional: Sprinkle the tops of the crescents with extra shredded cheese for added indulgence.
  2. Bake in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes, or until golden brown and flaky.
  3. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.

5. Serve and Enjoy

  1. Optional: Garnish with fresh parsley for added color and freshness.
  2. Serve warm as a standalone treat or pair with a side of sour cream, salsa, or hot sauce for dipping.
  3. Enjoy every bite of these flaky, savory, and indulgent Sausage Cream Cheese Crescents!
  4. Perfect for breakfast, brunch, appetizers, or a quick snack.

Tips for Success

  • Switch Proteins: Substitute sausage with bacon, ham, or cooked ground beef for variety.
  • Add Heat: Stir in diced jalapeños or red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.
  • Use Crescent Sheets: If you prefer less hassle, use a crescent sheet instead of individual triangles for easier assembly.
  • Store Leftovers: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer to maintain crispiness.
