🥐 Freshly Baked Sausage and Cream Cheese Crescent Rolls
These are warm, flaky crescent rolls filled with savory sausage and creamy, tangy cream cheese—perfect for breakfast, brunch, or party appetizers.
🧾 Ingredients
- 1 can refrigerated crescent roll dough (8-count or 12-count)
- 250–300g breakfast sausage (or ground sausage)
- 4 oz (115g) cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional but recommended)
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp chopped green onions (optional)
👩🍳 Instructions
1. Cook the sausage
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook sausage until browned and fully cooked.
- Drain excess grease and let it cool slightly.
2. Make the filling
- In a bowl, mix:
- cooked sausage
- cream cheese
- cheddar cheese (if using)
- garlic powder
- black pepper
- green onions (optional)
- Stir until creamy and well combined.
3. Fill the crescents
- Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F).
- Unroll crescent dough and separate triangles.
- Place 1–2 tbsp filling at the wide end of each triangle.
- Roll up tightly toward the tip.
4. Bake
- Place rolls on a lined baking sheet.
- Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until golden brown and flaky.
5. Serve
- Serve warm straight from the oven.
- Optional: serve with dipping sauces like:
- honey mustard
- ranch
- hot sauce
🔥 Tips
- Let sausage cool slightly so it doesn’t melt the dough.
- Don’t overfill or they may burst while baking.
- For extra golden tops, brush with melted butter before baking.
If you want, I can also make a jalapeño popper crescent roll version, a breakfast egg + sausage crescent bake, or a sweet cream cheese dessert crescent version.
