📝 Ingredients

1 (8-ounce/225 g) package refrigerated crescent roll dough
1 pound (450 g) ground breakfast sausage or Italian sausage
8 ounces (225 g) cream cheese, softened
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon dried parsley (optional)
1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

👩‍🍳 Full Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Filling

Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sausage and cook for 6–8 minutes, breaking it into small pieces until fully browned. Drain any excess fat and allow it to cool slightly.

Transfer the cooked sausage to a bowl and add the softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and parsley. Mix until everything is evenly combined into a creamy filling.

Step 2: Prepare the Crescent Dough

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Unroll the crescent dough and separate it into individual triangles.

Place 1–2 tablespoons of the sausage mixture onto the wide end of each triangle. Be careful not to overfill.

Step 3: Roll and Arrange

Starting from the wide end, roll each triangle toward the pointed tip, enclosing the filling inside.

Arrange the rolls seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each one.

Brush the tops with the beaten egg for a shiny, golden finish.

Step 4: Bake

Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the crescent rolls are puffed and beautifully golden brown.

Remove from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes before serving.
