→ Base Ingredients
01 -
1 pound breakfast sausage - use either pork or turkey
02 -
2 tubes of fresh crescent roll dough
→ Cheese & Seasonings
03 -
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or your favorite cheese blend)
04 -
1/4 cup cream cheese, brought to room temperature
05 -
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
06 -
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
→ Finishing Touch
07 -
1 beaten egg for that perfect golden finish (optional)
# Instructions:
01 -
Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). While you wait, line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat to prevent sticking.
02 -
Brown your breakfast sausage in a skillet over medium heat until it's thoroughly cooked. Drain off the extra grease and let it cool down a bit.
03 -
In a mixing bowl, combine your cooked sausage with the shredded cheddar, softened cream cheese, garlic powder, and black pepper until everything's well mixed.
04 -
Unroll your crescent dough and separate into triangles. Drop a generous spoonful of your sausage mixture onto the wide end of each triangle, then roll them up and place them seam-side down on your prepared baking sheet.
05 -
If you're feeling fancy, brush the tops with beaten egg - this will give them a beautiful golden finish.
06 -
Pop them in the oven for 12-15 minutes, until they're beautifully golden brown and cooked through.
07 -
Serve these beauties while they're warm. They're great with ketchup, mustard, or if you're feeling indulgent, a creamy breakfast gravy!
# Notes:
