Sausage Cream Cheese Crescent Bake
Delectably rich and savory, these crescent bites unite just three simple ingredients into an irresistible treat, ideal for morning gatherings or festive occasions. The creamy, sausage-laden filling wrapped in golden pastry crescents ensures these will be the first to disappear at any table.
Ingredients
- 1 8-oz package cream cheese, softened
- 2 8-oz cans refrigerated crescent rolls
- 1 1-lb roll breakfast sausage, cooked and crumbled
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375ºF to ensure a hot baking environment.
- Combine the softened cream cheese with the fully cooked and crumbled sausage in a mixing bowl until thoroughly blended.
- Unroll the crescent dough and separate into individual triangles; then slice each triangle lengthwise to create two smaller triangles.
- Place a scoop of the sausage mixture on the wider end of each triangle using a small cookie scoop for uniformity.
- Roll each filled triangle toward the tip, encasing the filling neatly.
- Arrange the crescents on a parchment-lined cookie sheet and bake for 15 minutes or until the tops are a golden brown hue.
Notes
A pizza cutter provides a smooth and efficient method for slicing the dough.
To achieve a finely textured filling, pulse the cooked sausage in a food processor.
Reduced-fat versions of cream cheese and crescent rolls can be used without compromising taste.
Prepare the sausage filling up to three days in advance and refrigerate for convenience.
These bites retain their appeal whether served hot or at room temperature.
