Savory Sausage & Cream Cheese Crescent Bites

Savory Sausage & Cream Cheese Crescent Bites – A Little Bite of Comfort in Every Roll

✨ Crescent rolls aren’t just for holidays anymore—they’re the ultimate kitchen shortcut for busy mornings, cozy brunches, or even last-minute party apps. These Sausage & Cream Cheese Crescent Bites are packed with creamy, cheesy goodness and just the right amount of savory sausage. They’re so good, you might want to double the batch—you’ve been warned!

Whether you’re serving these up for a laid-back breakfast or setting them out on a party platter, these bites disappear fast.

Equipment You’ll Need:

• Mixing bowl
• Skillet
• Wooden spoon or spatula
• Baking sheet
• Parchment paper (for easy cleanup!)

 Ingredients:

• 1 lb ground sausage (breakfast, Italian, or your favorite variety)
• 8 oz cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or a blend)
• 2 cans refrigerated crescent rolls
• Black pepper, to taste

 Instructions:

1.  Preheat & Prep: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2.  Cook the Sausage: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage, breaking it up as it browns. Cook until fully cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Drain any excess grease and let the sausage cool slightly.
3.  Make the Filling: In a bowl, combine the cooked sausage, softened cream cheese, shredded cheese, and black pepper. Mix until smooth and well blended.
4.  Roll It Up: Unroll the crescent dough and separate into triangles. Slice each triangle lengthwise to create two thinner triangles (this makes bite-sized rolls).
5.  Fill & Roll: Place a small spoonful of the sausage mixture on the wide end of each crescent triangle. Roll up from the wide end toward the point to encase the filling. Place seam side down on your baking sheet.
6.  Bake: Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crescents are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly inside.
7.  Cool Slightly & Serve: Let them cool for a few minutes (they’ll be hot!) and serve warm.

 Extra Tips & Variations:

• Spice it up: Add a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes to the filling for a little kick.
• Herb it up: Mix in chopped fresh parsley or chives for extra flavor.
• Make ahead: You can assemble these the night before, cover tightly, and bake fresh in the morning.
• Dipping ideas: Serve with a side of warm marinara, ranch dressing, or honey mustard.
