Sausage Cream Cheese Crescents

Yum — you’re after Sausage Cream Cheese Crescents, the classic easy, crowd-pleasing appetizer or breakfast treat? Here’s a tried-and-true recipe:

🥐 Sausage Cream Cheese Crescent Rolls

📝 Ingredients:

• 1 pound breakfast sausage (mild or spicy)
• 8 oz (225 g) cream cheese, softened
• 2 cans refrigerated crescent roll dough (8 rolls per can)
• Optional: ¼ cup chopped green onions or chives

👨‍🍳 Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
2. Cook sausage:
   • In a large skillet over medium heat, cook sausage until browned and crumbled.
   • Drain excess fat.
3. Make filling:
   • In a bowl, combine cooked sausage with cream cheese until fully mixed.
   • Stir in green onions if using.
4. Assemble crescents:
   • Unroll crescent dough and separate into triangles.
   • Place a heaping spoonful of sausage-cream cheese mixture near the wide end of each triangle.
   • Roll up, starting from the wide end toward the point, tucking in sides as needed.
5. Bake:
   • Place rolls on prepared baking sheet, point side down.
   • Bake 12–15 minutes, or until golden brown.
6. Serve warm!

✅ Tips:

• These freeze well — assemble and freeze unbaked crescents, then bake straight from frozen (add 3–4 minutes to bake time).
• Make them bite-sized by cutting crescent triangles in half before filling.
