Sausage Cream Cheese Crescents
Sausage Cream Cheese Crescents are a savory appetizer that blends the flavors of ground sausage, creamy cheese, and buttery crescent rolls. Easy to make and perfect for any gathering, these golden bites offer a delightful combination of crispy exterior and warm, cheesy filling.
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground sausage breakfast, Italian, or other
- 8 oz cream cheese softened
- 1 cup shredded cheese of your choice cheddar, mozzarella, etc.
- 2 cans refrigerated crescent rolls
- Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Cook the Sausage: In a large skillet, cook the ground sausage over medium heat until browned, breaking it into small crumbles. Let it cool slightly.
- Mix the Filling: In a large bowl, combine the cooked sausage, softened cream cheese, shredded cheese, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
- Prepare the Crescent Rolls: Unroll the crescent dough on a clean surface. Cut each triangle in half lengthwise to create 32 smaller triangles.
- Fill the Crescents: Place a tablespoon of the sausage mixture onto the wide end of each triangle. Roll up the dough, tucking in the sides as you go.
- Bake: Arrange the filled crescents on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 15 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Serve: Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm on their own or with a dipping sauce.
Notes
Experiment with different types of sausage or cheese to change the flavor profile. For a vegetarian version, use plant-based sausage or sautéed vegetables.
