Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Breakfast sausage (ground)
- 8 ounces Cream cheese (softened)
- 2 cans Refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 1 large Egg (beaten, optional for egg wash)
- 1 tablespoon Parsley (chopped, optional for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
In a medium skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage until browned and fully cooked, breaking it up into small crumbles as it cooks. Drain any excess grease.
Remove the skillet from heat and stir the softened cream cheese into the cooked sausage until fully combined and creamy. Set the mixture aside to cool slightly.
Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into triangles along the perforated lines. You should have 16 triangles total (8 per can).
Place a heaping spoonful (about 1 tablespoon) of the sausage and cream cheese mixture at the wide end of each crescent triangle.
Roll each triangle from the wide end toward the point, tucking in the filling as you go. Place the rolled crescents seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
If desired, brush the tops of the crescent rolls with beaten egg for a golden, shiny finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crescent rolls are golden brown and puffed.
Remove from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving. Garnish with chopped parsley, if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy!
