Step 4: Bake to Golden Perfection
- Arrange the crescents on the baking sheet, leaving a bit of space between each one.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until they are puffed up and beautifully golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let them cool for 3–5 minutes before serving — the filling will be hot and bubbly!
🌿 Optional Toppings and Variations
- Add spice: Mix in a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce to the filling for a kick.
- Use flavored cream cheese: Try herb and garlic or jalapeño cream cheese for extra flavor depth.
- Mini versions: Cut each triangle in half for bite-sized appetizers that are perfect for parties.
- Vegetarian twist: Replace sausage with sautéed mushrooms or spinach for a lighter but equally tasty option.
🍽️ Serving Ideas
Serve your Sausage Cream Cheese Crescents warm, straight out of the oven. They pair perfectly with:
- A side of ranch dressing or spicy dipping sauce
- A fresh green salad for a balanced snack
- Hot coffee or tea during breakfast or brunch
They’re also great as a make-ahead option — just prepare them, refrigerate, and bake when you’re ready.
🧊 Storage Tips
- Refrigerate: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
- Reheat: Warm in the oven or air fryer for 5 minutes at 350°F (175°C) to restore crispiness.
- Freeze: Freeze unbaked crescents for up to 1 month; bake from frozen, adding 3–5 extra minutes to the cooking time.
