Ingredients
- 1 tube crescent roll dough
- 1 package cream cheese 8 oz
- 1 lb sausage breakfast sausage or Italian sausage
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure your crescents bake evenly.
- Cook the Sausage: In a skillet, cook the sausage over medium heat until it’s browned and fully cooked. Make sure to drain any excess fat.
- Mix the Filling: In a bowl, combine the cooked sausage, cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until everything is thoroughly blended.
- Prepare the Crescent Dough: Open the crescent roll dough and unroll it on a clean surface. You can cut each triangle into smaller pieces for bite-sized treats if you prefer.
- Fill the Crescents: Spoon a small amount of the sausage mixture onto each triangle. Be generous but make sure to leave space at the edges for sealing.
- Roll Up: Starting from the wide end, roll the dough up over the filling to form a crescent shape, ensuring the filling is enclosed.
- Bake: Place the rolled crescents on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 12-15 minutes or until they are golden brown.
- Cool and Serve: Once baked, remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving to enjoy the melty, cheesy goodness!
