Sausage Cream Cheese Crescents
Ingredients:
1 lb breakfast sausage (cooked and crumbled)
8 oz cream cheese (softened)
2 cans crescent roll dough (8 oz each)
1 tsp garlic powder
½ tsp onion powder
½ tsp black pepper
1 tbsp fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Directions:
Cook the Sausage:
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage until fully browned and crumbled. Drain excess fat and set aside.
Mix the Filling:
In a large bowl, combine the cooked sausage, softened cream cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Mix well until everything is evenly incorporated.
Prepare the Crescent Rolls:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Unroll the crescent roll dough onto a flat surface. Separate each can into 8 individual triangles.
Fill the Crescents:
Place a heaping tablespoon of the sausage and cream cheese mixture onto the wide end of each triangle. Roll up each crescent starting from the wide end, tucking the edges as you go.
Bake the Crescents:
Place the rolled crescents on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Serve:
Once done, remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Serve warm.
