Description
Savory, creamy, and wrapped in golden crescent dough—these irresistible rolls are a guaranteed hit for breakfast, brunch, or snacking.
Ingredients
1 (8 oz) package refrigerated crescent roll dough
½ lb breakfast sausage
4 oz cream cheese, softened
½ cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Instructions
Preheat Oven:
Set oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cook the Sausage:
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage until browned and fully cooked.
Drain excess fat and allow to cool slightly.
Make the Filling:
In a medium bowl, mix the cooked sausage with softened cream cheese and optional shredded cheddar cheese.
Assemble the Rolls:
Unroll the crescent dough and separate into triangles.
Spoon about 1 tablespoon of filling onto the wide end of each triangle.
Roll up from the wide end, tucking in the filling as you go. Place on the prepared baking sheet.
Apply Egg Wash:
Brush each roll with the beaten egg for a golden, glossy finish.
Bake:
Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp.
Serve Warm:
Let cool slightly and serve while still warm.
Notes
Cheesy Boost: Use sharp cheddar or pepper jack for a little extra flavor kick.
Make Ahead: Assemble rolls and refrigerate (uncooked) for up to 24 hours. Bake just before serving.
Freezer Friendly: Bake, cool completely, and freeze in an airtight bag. Reheat in the oven at 350°F until warmed through.
Variations: Swap sausage for bacon or use flavored cream cheese for a twist.
