Description
These savory and creamy baked sausage crescents are an irresistible snack or appetizer. Easy to prepare and packed with flavor, they’re a crowd-pleaser for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tube refrigerated crescent roll dough (8 ounces)
- 1 pound breakfast sausage (can substitute with ground turkey or chicken)
- 8 ounces cream cheese (regular or light)
- 1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or preferred blend)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage until browned and fully cooked. Drain the fat.
- Mix the cooked sausage with cream cheese, shredded cheese, and garlic powder in a bowl until smooth and combined.
- Unroll crescent dough and separate into triangles. Spoon sausage filling onto the wide end and roll toward the point.
- Place each roll on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them apart. Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown.
- Remove from oven, let cool slightly, then garnish with chopped parsley and serve.
Notes
Avoid overstuffing to keep the crescents from bursting during baking. A tablespoon of filling per crescent works well.
