Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cans refrigerated crescent roll dough
  • 1 lb ground sausage (mild or spicy)
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash, optional)

Equipment

  • skillet
  • Mixing bowl
  • Spoon or spatula
  • baking tray
  • Oven
  • Pastry brush (optional)

Method
 

  1. In a skillet, cook sausage over medium heat until fully browned. Drain excess fat.
  2. In a bowl, combine cooked sausage, cream cheese, mozzarella, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Stir until creamy.
  3. Roll out crescent dough and separate into triangles. Place a spoonful of filling at the wide end of each.
  4. Roll crescents tightly and place on a greased baking tray. Brush with egg wash if desired for golden shine.
  5. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 15–18 minutes until golden brown.
  6. Serve warm with dipping sauces like ranch, marinara, or garlic butter.

Notes

Serve with ranch, marinara, or garlic butter for dipping. You can prepare the filling ahead of time and refrigerate until ready to bake. Use spicy sausage for extra kick or swap in cheddar for mozzarella.
