How to Make Cream Cheese Sausage Croissants

  1. Brown 1 lb breakfast sausage in a large skillet over medium heat, breaking it up with a spoon, until cooked through. Drain off any excess grease.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the cooked sausage with 8 oz cream cheese, mixing until well combined.
  3. Carefully unroll two packages (14.1 oz each) of refrigerated croissant dough, pinching the seams together to form one large rectangle.
  4. Spread half of the sausage and cream cheese mixture evenly down the center of the dough rectangle.
  5. Fold one side of the dough over the filling, then fold the other side over to completely enclose the filling. Pinch the edges firmly to seal.
  6. Wrap the assembled croissant dough tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
  7. Preheat your oven to the temperature specified on the croissant dough packaging.
  8. Remove the dough from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes.
  9. Using a sharp knife, slice the dough into 1/2-inch thick slices.
  10. Arrange the slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving some space between each croissant.
  11. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through. Check frequently and adjust baking time as needed to prevent burning. Serve warm and enjoy!
