Step 4: Prepare the Crescent Dough
- Open the can of crescent roll dough and unroll it on a clean surface.
- Separate it into triangular pieces (usually 8 per can).
- Lightly press seams together to ensure they don’t open when baking.
Step 5: Fill the Crescents
- Spoon a generous amount of the sausage-cream cheese mixture onto the wide end of each triangle.
- Spread it slightly but leave a little edge to make rolling easier.
- Carefully roll the crescent from the wide end to the tip, tucking in the filling as you go.
- Place the rolled crescents on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between them for expansion.
Step 6: Bake to Perfection
- Bake in the preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 12–15 minutes, or until the crescents are golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
- Keep an eye on them; ovens vary and overbaking can dry the rolls.
Step 7: Serve and Enjoy
- Let the crescents cool for 3–5 minutes before serving.
- Optionally, sprinkle with fresh parsley or extra shredded cheese for a tasty presentation.
- Serve warm as a breakfast treat, snack, or party appetizer.
Tips for Success
- Make-ahead option: Assemble crescents and refrigerate for a few hours, then bake before serving.
- Cheese variations: Try mozzarella, pepper jack, or Swiss for a different flavor profile.
- Mini crescents: Cut the triangles smaller for bite-sized appetizers perfect for gatherings.
