Description

Sausage Cream Cheese Crescent Rolls are flaky, cheesy, and loaded with savory sausage flavor. Perfect for breakfast, brunch, or game day, this easy three-ingredient recipe delivers big taste with minimal effort.


Ingredients

Scale

1 pound breakfast sausage (hot or mild)

1 block (8 oz) cream cheese, softened

2 cans (8 oz each) crescent rolls


Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to approximately 375 °F (190 °C).

  • In a skillet, cook the breakfast sausage over medium heat, breaking it apart until no longer pink. Drain off any excess fat.

  • In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked sausage and the softened cream cheese; stir until the mixture is smooth and well blended.

  • Unroll the crescent rolls and slice each triangle in half (so you get smaller rolls if desired).

  • On a parchment-lined baking sheet, take each crescent roll piece and place a scoop of the sausage-cream cheese mixture on the wider base of the triangle.

  • Roll the crescent up toward the tip, wrapping the filling inside. Place the rolls, seam-side down, on the baking sheet.

  • Bake for about 12-15 minutes, or until the crescent roll dough is golden brown and cooked through.

  • Remove from the oven and serve warm.

Notes

Use mild or hot sausage depending on your preference.

For a lighter version, use reduced-fat cream cheese and crescent rolls.

Add shredded cheese or green onions for extra flavor.

Freeze leftovers for up to 3 months.
