Ingredients
- 1 lb breakfast sausage (preferably hot for a bit of spice)
- 2 (8 oz) packages of cream cheese, softened
- 2 (8 oz) cans refrigerated crescent roll dough
Instructions
- Prepare the Sausage Filling:
- In a skillet over medium heat, brown the sausage until fully cooked. Drain any excess grease.
- In a bowl, combine the cooked sausage with the cream cheese, mixing until the cream cheese is fully incorporated and the mixture is creamy.
- Prepare the Crescent Rolls:
- Roll out each can of crescent roll dough into a rectangle, pinching the seams together to create a single large piece of dough.
- Fill and Roll:
- Spread half of the sausage and cream cheese mixture down the center of each dough rectangle, lengthwise.
- Fold one side of the dough over the filling and then fold the other side over, pinching the seam on top to seal the croissant.
- Chill and Slice:
- Wrap the filled dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight if you prefer to prepare it in advance.
- Once chilled, preheat the oven according to the crescent roll package instructions (usually 375°F/190°C).
- Slice each filled dough roll into 1/2-inch thick slices and arrange them on a baking sheet.
- Bake:
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the croissants are golden brown and flaky.
