🧾 Ingredients (Table Format)
| Ingredient | Amount |
|---|---|
| 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 egg wash) | 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 fully browned. Drain the excess grease and set it aside to cool.
2. Mix the Filling
Combine the cooked sausage with softened cream cheese in a bowl. Stir until smooth and creamy. Optional: mix in cheddar, garlic powder, or herbs for a flavor boost.
3. Prepare the Dough
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Unroll the crescent dough and separate into triangles or rectangles. Place a spoonful of filling on each, then roll up tightly.
4. Add the Egg Wash
Arrange rolls on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Beat the egg and brush over the tops for a glossy, golden finish.
5. Bake
Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until golden brown and fully cooked.
