Ingredients
– 1 lb breakfast sausage (I like using the pork variety for a bit of extra flavor)
– 8 oz cream cheese, softened
– 1 package refrigerated crescent rolls
– ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional, but oh-so-good!)
– 1 tsp garlic powder (adds a lovely kick)
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Fresh parsley or chives for garnish (optional)
Equipment Needed
– Baking sheet
– Parchment paper (for easy cleanup)
– Mixing bowl
– Spoon or spatula
– Oven
Step-by-Step Instructions
To start, the first thing I like to do is preheat my oven to 375°F (190°C) so it’s nice and hot by the time I’m ready to bake. Next, in a skillet over medium heat, I crumble and brown the breakfast sausage until it’s fully cooked. It’s amazing how fragrant the sausage gets as it cooks! Once it’s done, I drain any excess fat and let it cool slightly before mixing it with the cream cheese and any optional cheese I decide to add. The creamy blend of these ingredients is heavenly!
