🧾 Ingredients (Table)
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Ground breakfast sausage (pork, turkey, or chicken) | 1 lb (450g) |
| Cream cheese, softened | 8 oz (225g) |
| Crescent roll dough (or puff pastry sheets) | 2 cans |
| Egg (for brushing) | 1 |
| Optional: shredded cheddar cheese | ½ cup |
| Optional: garlic powder, parsley, or chives | To taste |
👩🍳 Instructions
1. Cook the Sausage
In a large skillet over medium heat, crumble and cook the sausage until browned and cooked through. Drain excess fat and let it cool.
2. Make the Filling
In a bowl, mix the cooked sausage with softened cream cheese until creamy and well combined. For extra flavor, add shredded cheddar, garlic powder, or fresh herbs if you like.
3. Prepare the Dough
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Unroll the crescent dough and separate into triangles or rectangles. Spoon a portion of the filling onto each piece, then roll them up snugly.
4. Apply Egg Wash
Place the rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Beat the egg and brush it over the tops to create a shiny, golden crust.
5. Bake
Bake for 15–18 minutes, until the rolls are golden and cooked through.
