Ingredients
1 package (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough
0.5 pound breakfast sausage
4 oz cream cheese, softened
0.5 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 egg (optional, for egg wash)
1 tablespoon grated Parmesan (optional)
1 pinch black pepper or red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
1. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage until fully browned and crumbled, about 6–8 minutes. Drain any excess grease.
2. In a bowl, mix the cooked sausage with softened cream cheese and shredded cheddar until well combined.
3. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
4. Open the crescent dough and separate it into individual triangles.
5. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the filling onto the wide end of each triangle.
6. Roll each piece from the wide end to the tip, tucking in the sides slightly. Place seam-side down on the baking sheet.
7. Brush with beaten egg and sprinkle Parmesan on top if desired.
8. Bake for 12–15 minutes until golden brown and crisp.
9. Let cool for 3–5 minutes before serving.
Notes
Soften the cream cheese at room temperature for easy mixing and a smooth filling.
Don’t overfill the dough to avoid leaking or bursting during baking.
For crispier results, chill the assembled rolls for 10 minutes before baking.
