  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 8 crescent rolls

Ingredients

  • 1 (8 oz) can refrigerated crescent roll dough
  • 1/2 lb breakfast sausage
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a skillet over medium heat, cook breakfast sausage until browned and cooked through. Break it apart with a spoon while cooking.
  3. Drain excess grease and stir in cream cheese until smooth and well combined. Let the mixture cool slightly.
  4. Unroll crescent dough and separate into triangles.
  5. Place a spoonful of sausage mixture on the wide end of each triangle and roll up toward the tip.
  6. Place rolls on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 12–15 minutes, or until golden brown.
  7. Cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • Add red pepper flakes or hot sauce for a spicy kick.
  • Mix in shredded cheddar or pepper jack for extra cheesiness.
  • Use Italian sausage instead of breakfast sausage for a bolder flavor.
  • Serve with scrambled eggs or fruit for a full brunch spread.
  • Reheat in the oven for a crispy texture; avoid microwave if possible.
