These Sausage Cream Cheese Crescents offer a delicious blend of savory sausage and creamy cheese wrapped in a flaky crescent roll. They are perfect as an appetizer, breakfast item, or party snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • ½ lb ground breakfast sausage (mild or spicy)
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • ¼ cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp onion powder
  • ¼ tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough
  • Optional dips: Dijon mustard, honey mustard, or ranch dressing

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
  2. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground breakfast sausage until it is browned and crumbly, about 6–8 minutes. Drain any excess fat and let the sausage cool slightly.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked sausage, softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese (if you are using it), garlic powder, onion powder, red pepper flakes (if desired), salt, and black pepper. Mix until all ingredients are fully blended.
  4. Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into individual triangles.
  5. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the sausage cream cheese filling onto the wide end of each crescent dough triangle.
  6. Roll up each crescent tightly from the wide end to the tip, making sure to seal the edges to keep the sausage and cream cheese filling inside.
  7. Place the filled sausage cream cheese crescents on your prepared baking sheet.
  8. Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the crescents are golden brown. For an extra touch, you can brush the tops with melted butter or sprinkle with grated Parmesan before baking.
  9. Let the sausage cream cheese crescents cool slightly before serving. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce, such as Dijon mustard, honey mustard, or ranch dressing, and enjoy every cheesy, savory bite.
