Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Prepare the filling:
In a small bowl, mix softened cream cheese, cooked sausage, shredded cheddar, and garlic powder (if using) until combined.
Assemble the crescent rolls:
Unroll the crescent dough and separate into triangles.
Place a spoonful of the sausage-cream cheese mixture at the wide end of each triangle.
Roll from the wide end to the tip, forming a crescent shape.
Bake:
Place rolls on the prepared baking sheet. Brush with beaten egg if desired for a golden finish.
Bake 12–15 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed.
Serve:
Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm!
💡 Tips:
For a little extra flavor, sprinkle some paprika or chopped parsley on top before baking.
You can use spicy sausage for a kick or add chopped bell peppers for extra texture.
These can be made ahead and baked just before serving—they’re perfect for gatherings!
If you want, I can also give a shortcut version that’s even faster using pre-cooked breakfast sausage and a simple cream cheese spread—ready in under 20 minutes.
