Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 pound beef sausage, cooked and crumbled
- 8 ounces (226 grams) cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup (113 grams) shredded cheddar cheese
Dough:
- 2 cans (8 ounces / 226 grams each) refrigerated crescent roll dough
Seasonings:
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Warm the oven to 375°F and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper or a light grease coating.
- Thoroughly combine crumbled beef sausage, cream cheese, garlic powder, and cheddar cheese in a mixing bowl, ensuring the filling is evenly mixed and seasoned with salt and pepper.
- Carefully unroll the crescent roll dough, separating each triangle with precision.
- Distribute the savory sausage mixture generously along the wider portion of each triangle, using approximately 1-2 tablespoons per pastry.
- Gently roll each crescent from the wide end, carefully tucking and sealing the edges to prevent filling from escaping during baking.
- Position the rolled crescents on the prepared baking sheet, maintaining adequate spacing between each pastry.
- Slide the baking sheet into the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, watching for a golden-brown coloration and puffy texture.
- Once baked, remove the crescents from the oven and allow them to rest briefly, which helps set the filling and cool the pastry to a comfortable serving temperature.
- Serve these delectable parcels warm to maximize flavor and enjoy the rich, creamy texture of the sausage-filled crescents.
Notes
- Select high-quality beef sausage with good fat content for maximum flavor and juiciness in the filling.
- Ensure cream cheese is fully softened at room temperature to create a smooth, evenly mixed filling without lumps.
- Experiment with different cheese varieties like pepper jack or gouda to add unique flavor dimensions and personalize the recipe.
- For gluten-free option, substitute crescent roll dough with gluten-free puff pastry or low-carb alternative like almond flour-based dough.
