🧀 What Makes This Recipe Special

The beauty of Sausage Cream Cheese Crescents lies in their simplicity. They use just a handful of ingredients but deliver maximum taste. The combination of crispy crescent rolls, savory sausage, and melty cream cheese creates a balance of texture and flavor that feels both homemade and gourmet.

🛒 Ingredients You’ll Need

• 1 package (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough
• 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
• 1/2 pound (225 g) breakfast sausage (pork or turkey sausage)
• 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional for extra cheesiness)
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon chopped chives or parsley (optional, for garnish)

👩‍🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Filling

1. In a large skillet, cook the sausage over medium heat until it’s browned and crumbly.
2. Drain any excess grease using a paper towel or strainer.
3. While the sausage is still warm, stir in the cream cheese until it’s completely melted and blended.
4. Add garlic powder and black pepper to season. If you like it extra cheesy, stir in shredded cheddar at this stage.
5. Set the filling aside to cool slightly — this helps make the crescents easier to roll later.

Step 2: Prepare the Dough

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Open the can of crescent rolls and separate the dough into triangular pieces along the perforated lines.
3. Place the triangles on the prepared baking sheet or a clean countertop for easy assembly.

Step 3: Fill and Roll

1. Place about 1 tablespoon of the sausage-cream cheese mixture at the wide end of each dough triangle.
2. Carefully roll the dough, starting from the wide end and tucking the filling inside as you go.
3. Make sure the tips are sealed or tucked underneath to prevent the filling from leaking during baking.

(Tip: You can pinch the edges slightly if your filling is very creamy.)
