Ingredients
- 1 package (8-ounce) crescent roll dough
- 0.5 pound ground breakfast sausage
- 4 ounces cream cheese
- 0.5 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon water
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Step 2
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground breakfast sausage until it is fully cooked and browned, breaking it into small crumbles as it cooks. Drain any excess grease, and transfer the sausage to a medium mixing bowl.
Step 3
Add the cream cheese to the warm sausage and stir until the cream cheese melts and combines evenly. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until fully incorporated. Set the sausage mixture aside to cool slightly.
Step 4
Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into 8 triangles along the perforated lines. Then, cut each triangle in half lengthwise to create 16 smaller triangles.
Step 5
Place about 1 teaspoon of the sausage and cheese mixture onto the wide end of each triangle. Roll up each triangle, starting from the wide end and rolling toward the pointed end to enclose the filling. Place the rolled crescents seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 6
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to create an egg wash. Brush the tops of the crescent rolls lightly with the egg wash to achieve a golden, glossy finish.
Step 7
Bake the crescent rolls in the preheated oven for 13-15 minutes, or until they are golden brown and puffed.
Step 8
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy these warm, cheesy appetizers!
