Ingredients for Sausage Cream Cheese Crescents

Here’s what you’ll need to make these Sausage Cream Cheese Crescents:

• ½ lb breakfast sausage (mild or spicy), cooked and crumbled
• 4 oz cream cheese, softened
• 1 can refrigerated crescent roll dough (8 crescents)

Optional Add-Ins

• ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1–2 tablespoons chopped green onions
• Pinch of garlic powder or black pepper
• Red pepper flakes for heat

Tools You’ll Need

• Skillet
• Mixing bowl
• Spoon or spatula
• Baking sheet
• Parchment paper (optional)

How to Make Sausage Cream Cheese Crescents Step by Step

Step 1: Cook the Sausage

In a skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage until fully browned and crumbled. Drain excess grease and allow it to cool slightly.

Step 2: Make the Filling

In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked sausage and softened cream cheese. Stir until fully blended and creamy. Add any optional seasonings or cheese at this stage.

Step 3: Prepare the Crescent Dough

Unroll the crescent dough and separate it into triangles. Lay them flat on a clean surface.

Step 4: Fill and Roll

Spoon a small amount of the sausage cream cheese mixture onto the wide end of each crescent triangle. Gently roll up, starting from the wide end and tucking the filling inside.

Step 5: Bake

Place the crescents on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake according to the crescent roll package instructions, usually at 375°F (190°C) for 11–13 minutes, or until golden brown.

Step 6: Cool Slightly and Serve

Let the crescents cool for a few minutes before serving. The filling will be hot!
