Ingredients
– 1 package of crescent roll dough
– 1 pound of breakfast sausage (I prefer spicy for an extra kick)
– 8 ounces of cream cheese, softened
– 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese
– 1 teaspoon of garlic powder (optional)
– 1 teaspoon of onion powder (optional)
– Fresh herbs for garnish (like parsley or chives, if desired)
Equipment Needed
– Baking sheet
– Mixing bowl
– Spoon or spatula
– Oven
– Parchment paper (optional, for easier cleanup)
Step-by-Step Instructions
To start, I preheat my oven to 375°F (190°C). This is the ideal temperature for baking those crescent rolls to a perfectly golden hue. In a mixing bowl, I begin browning the sausage over medium heat until it’s fully cooked. Once that’s done, I remove it from the heat and let it cool slightly before adding in the softened cream cheese and shredded cheddar cheese. I like to sprinkle in some garlic and onion powder for an added flavor boost. The mixture becomes creamy and flavorful – a perfect filling for our crescents!
