Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground breakfast sausage
- 8 ounces Cream cheese
- 16 ounces Refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground breakfast sausage until browned and fully cooked through, breaking it into small crumbles as it cooks. Drain any excess grease.
Reduce the heat to low and add the cream cheese to the skillet. Stir until the cream cheese is melted and fully combined with the sausage.
Season the sausage mixture with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir well and remove the skillet from the heat. Allow the mixture to cool slightly for easier handling.
Open the crescent roll dough and separate it into individual triangles as per the package instructions.
Place a spoonful (about 1-2 tablespoons) of the sausage and cream cheese mixture onto the wider end of each crescent triangle.
Starting at the wider end, roll the dough tightly around the filling, tucking the edges slightly to seal the mixture inside. Repeat for all triangles.
Arrange the filled crescents onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving enough space between them to allow for expansion during baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the croissants are golden brown and flaky.
Remove from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm as a hearty snack or breakfast treat.
