Ingredients
  

1 package (8 oz) crescent roll dough

1 pound breakfast sausage, cooked and crumbled

1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

1/4 cup cream cheese, softened to room temperature

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Optional: Fresh chives or parsley, finely chopped for garnish

Instructions
 

Preheat the oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). For easy cleanup, line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    Prepare the filling: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cooked and crumbled sausage with the shredded cheddar cheese, softened cream cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Stir well until all ingredients are evenly mixed and fully combined.

      Roll out the dough: Unroll the crescent roll dough onto a clean, flat surface. Keep the dough in one large rectangle without separating the triangles. Pinch the seams of the dough together to form a cohesive sheet.

        Cut into triangles: Using a pizza cutter or a sharp knife, slice the dough into smaller triangles, each approximately 4 inches wide at the base. You should end up with about 8 triangles from the rectangle.

          Add the filling: At the base of each triangle, place about one tablespoon of the sausage and cheese mixture. Carefully roll each triangle from the base towards the tip, ensuring the filling is enclosed and forming a crescent shape.

            Prepare for baking: Arrange each rolled crescent on your prepared baking sheet. Using a pastry brush, lightly brush the tops of the rolls with the beaten egg to achieve a beautiful golden-brown finish while baking.

              Bake: Slide the baking sheet into the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes or until the croissant rolls are puffed up and golden brown.

                Cool and garnish: After baking, remove the rolls from the oven and allow them to cool slightly on the baking sheet. For an added touch of freshness, sprinkle with finely chopped chives or parsley before serving.

                  Serve and enjoy: These Mini Sausage Cheddar Croissant Rolls are best enjoyed warm. They make a delightful appetizer, a savory snack, or a perfect addition to a brunch spread!
