Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground breakfast sausage
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 cans crescent roll dough
- 2 tablespoons butter (optional, for brushing)
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
In a medium skillet, cook the ground sausage over medium heat until browned and fully cooked. Break it into crumbles as it cooks.
Drain any excess grease from the sausage and return it to the skillet. Reduce the heat to low.
Add the cream cheese to the skillet and stir until melted and combined with the sausage. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, salt, and black pepper into the sausage mixture, mixing until evenly incorporated.
Unroll one can of crescent roll dough and press it into the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Pinch the seams together to seal.
Spread the sausage and cheese mixture evenly over the crescent roll dough base.
Unroll the second can of crescent roll dough and place it over the sausage mixture. Pinch the seams together and along the edges to seal.
Optional: Melt the butter and brush it over the top dough layer for added flavor and a golden finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the dough is cooked through.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for at least 5 minutes. Cut into squares and serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
