Flaky, buttery crescent rolls wrapped around a creamy, savory sausage filling—this is a recipe that works just as well for a slow weekend breakfast as it does for a party appetizer or holiday brunch spread. It’s simple, familiar, and incredibly satisfying, which is exactly why it’s been a favorite in so many households for years.
Ingredients
1 lb ground sausage breakfast, Italian, or your choice
8 oz cream cheese softened
1 cup shredded cheese any type you like
2 cans refrigerated crescent rolls
Pepper to taste
Method
Preheat oven to 375°F. Roll out crescent dough and cut each triangle in half lengthwise.
Cook sausage in a skillet over medium heat until browned; drain excess grease and let cool slightly.
In a bowl, combine cooked sausage, cream cheese, shredded cheese, and pepper. Mix until smooth.
Spoon a small amount of the sausage mixture onto the wide end of each crescent triangle. Roll dough over filling to form mini crescents.
Place on a baking sheet and bake 15 minutes, or until golden brown. Serve warm.
Enjoy!
