Sausage Cream Cheese Crescents
Ingredients:
- 1 can (8 oz) crescent roll dough
- 1/2 lb breakfast sausage (ground)
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: chopped green onions for garnish
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cook the Sausage: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage until browned and cooked through. Break it apart with a spatula as it cooks. Drain any excess fat and let it cool slightly.
- Make the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked sausage, softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
- Prepare the Crescent Rolls: Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into triangles as indicated on the package.
- Assemble the Crescents: Place a spoonful of the sausage and cream cheese mixture at the wide end of each triangle. Roll the dough from the wide end to the point, tucking in the filling as you go.
- Bake: Place the roll-ups on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for about 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.
- Serve: Let them cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped green onions if desired.
Tips:
- You can add other ingredients like diced jalapeños for a spicy kick or herbs for extra flavor.
- These can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator; just reheat in the oven before serving.
