Ingredients
Dough
- 1 can crescent roll dough (8 count)
Filling
- 0.5 lb breakfast sausage (mild or spicy)
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 0.5 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 tsp garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp onion powder
- to taste Salt and pepper
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) while cooking the breakfast sausage.
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage until browned. Drain the excess grease.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the sausage with softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, and a dash of salt and pepper. Mix until well blended.
- Gently unroll the crescent dough. Place a generous spoonful of the sausage mixture at the wide end and roll the dough up, placing it seam side down on a baking sheet.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Allow to cool slightly before serving.
Notes
Ensure the cream cheese is softened for easy mixing. Drain the sausage well to prevent sogginess. For a lighter version, use turkey or plant-based sausage.
