These Sausage Cream Cheese Crescents are a wonderful balance of flavours and textures. The richness of the cream cheese perfectly complements the savoury sausage, while the buttery crescent dough adds a delightful flakiness to every bite. They are sure to become a favourite among your family and friends.
To make these delicious crescents, you’ll need crescent roll dough, breakfast sausage, cream cheese, and a few seasonings. The result is a warm, cheesy, and satisfying treat that will impress your guests and have them coming back for more.
Start by preheating your oven to the temperature specified on the crescent roll dough package. In a skillet, cook the breakfast sausage until browned and cooked through. Drain any excess grease from the skillet, then add the cream cheese and seasonings. Stir everything together until the cream cheese is melted and well incorporated with the sausage.
Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into triangles. Spoon a generous amount of the sausage and cream cheese mixture onto the wide end of each triangle. Roll up the dough, starting from the wide end, and place the crescents on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake the crescents in the preheated oven for the time indicated on the crescent roll dough package, or until they turn golden brown and are cooked through.
Once baked, remove the Sausage Cream Cheese Crescents from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. These crescents are delicious on their own, but you can also serve them with a side of your favourite dipping sauce or enjoy them as part of a larger brunch spread.
Note: You can customize these crescents by adding additional ingredients such as diced vegetables, shredded cheese, or spices to suit your taste. Leftover crescents can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for a few days. Simply reheat them in the oven for a few minutes to enjoy them warm and flaky again.
