Simple Sausage Crescent Rolls (Printable Version)
Flaky crescent dough filled with sausage and cheese. Quick to make and perfect for mornings or a weekend treat!
# What You'll Need:
→ Base Ingredients
01 -
2 cans of refrigerated crescent rolls
02 -
1 pound of ground breakfast sausage – choose either turkey or pork
→ Cheese & Seasonings
03 -
1/4 cup softened cream cheese, at room temperature
04 -
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
05 -
1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese or a blend you love
06 -
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder for added flavor
→ Finishing Touch
07 -
1 egg, whisked, for an optional glossy golden top
# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Set your oven to heat up to 375°F (190°C). While it warms, cover a baking tray with either parchment or a silicone mat—this'll keep the rolls from sticking.
02 -
Cook your sausage in a pan over medium heat until it's fully browned. Get rid of the extra grease and let it cool down a touch.
03 -
In a bowl, mix together the browned sausage, shredded cheddar, softened cream cheese, garlic powder, and black pepper. Stir it all until blended nicely.
04 -
Roll out your crescent dough and pull apart the triangles. Spoon some of your sausage mix onto the wide end, roll 'em up, and arrange them seam-side down on your lined tray.
05 -
For a pretty golden finish, lightly brush the tops with the whisked egg—it’s up to you if you wanna skip this step.
06 -
Slide the tray into the oven for around 12-15 minutes. Watch for them to turn golden and puffed.
07 -
Dish these out while they’re still warm. They're great on their own or paired with condiments like mustard, ketchup, or even creamy gravy!
# Additional Notes:
01 -
Want something more filling? Add scrambled eggs to the mix before rolling!
02 -
Boost the spice factor with spicy sausage or some crushed red pepper flakes.
03 -
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven to get them warm and crispy again.
