Step 4: Fill and Roll the Crescents
- Spoon about 1–2 teaspoons of the sausage cream cheese mixture onto the wide end of each triangle.
- Carefully roll each triangle from the wide end to the narrow tip, forming a crescent shape.
- Place the rolled crescents on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, with the point tucked underneath to prevent unrolling.
Tip: Don’t overfill, or the mixture may ooze out during baking.
Step 5: Bake to Golden Perfection
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes, or until the crescents are golden brown and slightly puffed.
- Remove from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet.
Step 6: Garnish and Serve
- Optional: Sprinkle dried parsley or additional shredded cheese on top for a beautiful presentation.
- Serve warm as an appetizer, snack, or even a breakfast treat.
Tips for Success
- Make ahead: You can assemble the crescents and refrigerate them for a few hours before baking. Just add 1–2 extra minutes to the baking time if chilled.
- Cheese variations: Swiss, mozzarella, or pepper jack can replace cheddar for a different flavor profile.
- Spice it up: Add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chopped jalapeños to the filling for a spicy twist.
