Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 can (8 oz) Refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 4 oz Cream cheese
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon Jalapeños, finely diced
- 1 cup Cooked breakfast sausage, crumbled
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 Egg, beaten
- 1 tablespoon Chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, diced jalapeños, crumbled sausage, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Mix until well combined.
Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into 8 individual triangles.
Place about 1 tablespoon of the filling mixture in the center of each triangle.
Fold the corners of the dough around the filling, pinching the edges together to seal, and shape each into a small pouch or ball.
Place the filled dough pieces onto the prepared baking sheet, seam-side down, leaving enough room between each piece.
Brush the beaten egg over the tops of the kolaches to give them a golden, glossy finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the kolaches are golden brown and cooked through.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired.
