Ingredients
Scale
Sausage Filling:
- 1 pound breakfast sausage
- 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions (optional)
Crescent Roll Dough:
- 2 cans (8 oz each) refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash – optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cook the sausage: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage until browned and fully cooked. Drain excess grease.
- Prepare the filling: In a bowl, mix the cooked sausage with softened cream cheese, garlic powder, black pepper, and green onions if using.
