Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 1 pound breakfast sausage, cooked and crumbled
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
Dough
- 2 cans (8 ounces each) refrigerated crescent rolls
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375ºF (190ºC) to ensure it reaches the right temperature for baking the crescents perfectly golden and flaky.
- Prepare Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked and crumbled breakfast sausage with the softened cream cheese, stirring until fully blended into a creamy mixture.
- Shape Crescents: Separate each can of refrigerated crescent rolls into individual triangles. Cut each triangle in half lengthwise to make smaller triangular pieces. Using a small cookie scoop or spoon, place a portion of the sausage and cream cheese filling onto the wider end of each triangle. Carefully roll up each piece from the wide end to the tip, enclosing the filling.
- Bake: Arrange the filled crescents on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or sprayed with nonstick spray. Bake in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes, or until the crescents are puffed up and golden brown.
Notes
- Make sure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature for easy mixing.
- Use a small scoop or spoon to portion the filling evenly for uniform crescents.
- For a crispier crust, brush the tops with a little melted butter before baking.
- Serve warm for the best flavor and texture.
- These crescents can be made ahead and reheated in the oven.
