Description
Let’s talk about one of the easiest, most satisfying finger foods you’ll ever make: Savory Cheesy Sausage Crescents.
Ingredients
Scale
For the Crescents:
- 1 lb ground breakfast sausage (mild, spicy, or your favorite variety)
- 1 package (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or a blend)
- 2 tbsp cream cheese (optional, for extra creaminess)
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp Italian seasoning
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Instructions
- Cook the Sausage
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage until browned and fully cooked. Drain any excess grease and stir in garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and cream cheese (if using). Allow the mixture to cool slightly. - Prepare the Dough
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Unroll the crescent dough and separate it into triangles. - Assemble the Crescents
Place a small spoonful of the sausage mixture on the wide end of each crescent triangle. Sprinkle with shredded cheese, then roll up the dough, starting at the wide end and tucking in the sides as you go. - Bake to Golden Perfection
Arrange the crescents on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with the beaten egg for a golden finish. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the crescents are golden brown and cooked through. - Serve and Enjoy
Let the crescents cool slightly before serving. Pair with your favorite dipping sauces, such as ranch or marinara, for extra flavor!
