Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 (16 ounces / 453 grams) roll breakfast sausage, cooked and crumbled
- 2 (8 ounces / 226 grams) cans refrigerated crescent rolls
- 1 (8 ounces / 226 grams) cream cheese, softened
Cheese Ingredients:
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese (or cheese of choice)
Instructions
- Prepare the oven by heating to 375°F and cover a baking sheet with parchment paper for optimal non-stick performance.
- Create a savory filling by thoroughly blending crumbled sausage, velvety cream cheese, and sharp cheddar until ingredients are fully integrated.
- Carefully unfold crescent roll dough and slice each triangle lengthwise into two slim triangular sections, utilizing a pizza cutter for precision and ease.
- Generously dollop the prepared meat and cheese mixture onto the narrow dough triangles, ensuring even distribution across the surface.
- Gently roll each triangular piece from the wider end to the pointed tip, encasing the filling securely within the delicate pastry.
- Position the rolled crescents on the prepared baking sheet, leaving modest spacing between each piece to allow for even browning.
- Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven and bake for approximately 15 minutes, monitoring until the pastry achieves a golden, crisp exterior.
- Remove from the oven and let the crescents rest briefly to cool slightly, then serve while warm to maximize flavor and texture enjoyment.
Notes
- Versatile Filling: Swap sausage with diced ham, bacon bits, or scrambled tofu for vegetarian and different meat variations.
- Cheese Flexibility: Experiment with different cheese types like pepper jack, Swiss, or goat cheese to create unique flavor profiles.
- Make-Ahead Magic: Prepare the filling and roll the crescents the night before, then refrigerate and bake fresh in the morning for quick breakfast prep.
