Frequently Asked Questions

Can I freeze Sausage Cream Cheese Crescents?

Yes! Assemble the crescents, freeze them on a tray, then transfer to a freezer bag. Bake from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time.

What type of sausage is best?

Both mild and spicy ground sausage work great — it depends on how much heat you want. You could also use turkey sausage for a lighter option.

Can I use homemade crescent dough?
