Crescent Rolls with Sausage & Cream Cheese

Whether you’re welcoming company, planning a relaxed weekend breakfast, or scrambling for an easy dinner idea, these buttery, golden crescent rolls filled with savory sausage and creamy cheese always hit the spot. Crisp on the outside and soft, melty, and comforting on the inside—they’re the definition of simple indulgence.

🧾 Ingredients (Rewritten Table)

Ingredient	Amount
Breakfast sausage (pork, turkey, or chicken), cooked and crumbled	1 lb (450g)
Cream cheese, softened	8 oz (225g)
Crescent roll dough (or puff pastry)	2 cans
Egg (for brushing)	1
Optional: shredded cheddar	½ cup
Optional: seasonings like garlic powder, parsley, or chives	To taste

👩‍🍳 Instructions (Rewritten)

1. Brown the Sausage
Cook the sausage in a skillet over medium heat, breaking it into small pieces. Drain the excess grease and let it cool slightly.

2. Prepare the Filling
Blend the warm sausage with the softened cream cheese until smooth and cohesive. Mix in cheddar or extra seasonings if you want more flavor.

3. Ready the Dough
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Unroll the crescent dough and separate the pieces into triangles or rectangles. Place a spoonful of filling on each one and roll tightly.

4. Add the Egg Wash
Arrange the rolls on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Beat the egg and lightly brush it over the tops to help them bake to a shiny, golden finish.

5. Bake to Perfection
Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until the rolls are puffed, golden, and fully cooked.

🍽️ Serving Ideas
These are best enjoyed warm. They’re perfect for:

Quick breakfasts
Appetizer boards
Game-day snacks
Simple weeknight meals

Pair with ranch, spicy mayo, honey mustard, or your favorite dip.

Leftovers store well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days—just reheat in the oven or air fryer for crisp edges again.

💡 Tips & Variations (Rewritten)
