🧾 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 skillet over medium heat, crumble and brown the sausage. Drain off any extra grease and allow it to cool slightly.
2. Make the Filling
Stir the cooked sausage into the softened cream cheese until well combined. Add cheddar or seasonings if you’d like an extra burst of flavor.
3. Prep the Dough
Heat oven to 375°F (190°C). Unroll the crescent dough and separate it into triangles or rectangles. Add a spoonful of filling to each piece, then roll them up firmly.
4. Brush with Egg Wash
Place the rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment. Beat the egg and brush a light coat over the tops for a shiny, golden finish.
5. Bake
Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until beautifully golden and cooked through.
