Title: Cheesy Sausage Stuffed Crescent Rolls – A Savory, Melt-in-Your-Mouth Snack

par

  1. Preheat the oven:
    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

  2. Cook the sausage:
    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage until browned and crumbled, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks. Once fully cooked, drain any excess fat and set the sausage aside to cool slightly.

  3. Prepare the filling:
    In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked sausage with the shredded cheddar cheese, cream cheese (if using), garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix everything together until well combined. The filling should be creamy, cheesy, and flavorful.

  4. Assemble the crescent rolls:
    Unroll the crescent roll dough on a clean surface. Separate the dough into triangles as directed on the package. Place a spoonful of the sausage and cheese mixture at the wider end of each triangle.

  5. Roll the crescent rolls:
    Starting from the wider end, carefully roll each triangle up around the filling, pinching the edges to seal. Make sure the cheese doesn’t spill out while baking. Place each rolled crescent onto the prepared baking sheet.

  6. Brush with butter:
    Brush the tops of the crescent rolls with the melted butter to help them brown and get a golden, crispy crust.

  7. Bake the rolls:
    Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crescent rolls are golden brown and the cheese is melted inside.

  8. Serve:
    Once the crescent rolls are done, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool for a minute before serving. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired.

Serving and Storage Tips:

  • Serve warm: These cheesy sausage stuffed crescent rolls are best enjoyed fresh from the oven, but they can be served warm or at room temperature.
  • Storage: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat them in the oven or microwave for a few seconds before serving.

Variants:

  1. Add Veggies: Add diced bell peppers, onions, or spinach to the sausage filling for extra flavor and nutrients.
  2. Spicy Version: Add some diced jalapeños or a pinch of red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.
  3. Different Cheeses: Try swapping the cheddar cheese for mozzarella, pepper jack, or a blend of your favorite cheeses.

FAQ:

1. Can I make these ahead of time?
Yes, you can assemble the crescent rolls in advance, cover them with plastic wrap, and refrigerate them for a few hours or overnight. Just bake them fresh when ready to serve.

2. Can I use a different type of sausage?
Absolutely! Feel free to use any type of sausage you prefer, such as Italian sausage, chorizo, or even turkey sausage for a leaner option.

3. Can I freeze these rolls?
Yes, you can freeze the uncooked stuffed crescent rolls. Place them on a baking sheet and freeze until solid. Then, transfer them to a freezer bag. When ready to bake, simply bake them from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time.
