Ingredients

• 1 can (8 oz) Refrigerated crescent roll dough
• 4 oz Cream cheese
• 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 tablespoon Jalapeños, finely diced
• 1 cup Cooked breakfast sausage, crumbled
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 1 Egg, beaten
• 1 tablespoon Chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, diced jalapeños, crumbled sausage, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Mix until well combined.

Step 3

Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into 8 individual triangles.

Step 4

Place about 1 tablespoon of the filling mixture in the center of each triangle.

Step 5

Fold the corners of the dough around the filling, pinching the edges together to seal, and shape each into a small pouch or ball.

Step 6

Place the filled dough pieces onto the prepared baking sheet, seam-side down, leaving enough room between each piece.

Step 7

Brush the beaten egg over the tops of the kolaches to give them a golden, glossy finish.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the kolaches are golden brown and cooked through.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired.
