How to Make Sausage Cream Cheese Crescents

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, cooked sausage (ensure it's drained of excess grease), cheddar cheese (if using), green onions (if using), garlic powder and onion powder. Mix until well combined.
  3. Unroll the crescent roll dough onto a lightly floured surface. Separate the dough into triangles.
  4. Place a spoonful of the sausage and cream cheese mixture onto the wide end of each crescent triangle.
  5. Roll up the crescents, starting from the wide end and tucking the filling in as you roll.
  6. Place the crescents onto the prepared baking sheet.
  7. Bake for 20-27 minutes, or until the crescents are golden brown and cooked through.
  8. Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
