Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 can refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 1 pound sausage (breakfast sausage) Cooked until browned
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your favorite)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- to taste salt and pepper
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Cook the sausage in a skillet over medium heat until it's browned and cooked through. Drain any excess grease.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked sausage, softened cream cheese, shredded cheese, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well until everything is blended smoothly.
- Unroll the crescent roll dough on a non-stick baking sheet.
- Cut each rectangle into small triangles, roughly the size of your palm.
- Spoon a tablespoon of filling onto the wide end of each triangle. Roll them up starting from the wide end towards the tip.
- Place them on the baking sheet and repeat with the remaining dough and filling.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Let them cool for a few minutes before serving warm.
Notes
Customize with different cheese types or herbs. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to three days or freeze for up to three months. Reheat in an oven for crispiness.
