Sausage and Cream Cheese Crescents

 Ingredients:

1 lb breakfast sausage, cooked and crumbled

8 oz cream cheese, softened

2 cans (8 oz each) refrigerated crescent roll dough

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)

Directions:

Prepare the Filling: In a medium bowl, mix the cooked sausage with the softened cream cheese until well combined. If desired, stir in shredded cheddar cheese for extra flavor.

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

Assemble the Crescents: Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into triangles. Place about 1 tablespoon of the sausage mixture at the wide end of each triangle. Roll up the dough from the wide end to the point, enclosing the filling.

Bake: Arrange the crescents on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.

Serve: Let cool for a few minutes before serving. These are perfect as appetizers, snacks, or breakfast treats!
