🥐 Sausage Cream Cheese Crescents
These Sausage Cream Cheese Crescents are a warm, flaky appetizer that’s incredibly easy to make. The creamy, savory filling wrapped in buttery crescent dough makes them perfect for breakfast, snacks, or parties.
🧾 Ingredients
- 1 lb ground sausage
- 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
- 2 cans refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional, for extra flavor)
👩🍳 Instructions
- Cook the sausage
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground sausage until browned and fully cooked. Drain any excess grease. - Make the filling
Reduce heat to low and add the softened cream cheese to the sausage. Stir until the cheese melts and the mixture becomes creamy and well combined. If using, mix in the shredded cheddar cheese. - Prepare the dough
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into individual triangles. - Fill the crescents
Place about 1 tablespoon of the sausage mixture on the wide end of each crescent triangle. - Roll them up
Roll the dough from the wide end toward the point, forming a crescent shape. - Bake
Place the crescents on a lined baking sheet and bake for 12–15 minutes, or until golden brown.
🍽️ Serving Ideas
Serve them warm with:
- Honey mustard
- Ranch dressing
- Maple syrup (for a sweet-savory breakfast twist)
✨ Tip: You can prepare the sausage filling ahead of time and keep it in the refrigerator for up to 2 days, making these crescents even quicker to assemble.
