Ingredients
  

1 lb (450g) breakfast sausage (mild or spicy, as per preference)

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (sharp or mild)

1/2 cup cream cheese, softened

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1 package (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough

1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Fresh herbs (like chives or parsley) for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C).

    Cook the Sausage: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage until it’s browned and fully cooked. Break it apart with a spatula as it cooks. Drain any excess grease and set aside to cool slightly.

      Prepare the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked sausage, shredded cheddar cheese, softened cream cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.

        Roll Out the Dough: Unroll the crescent roll dough on a flat surface. Carefully separate the perforated triangles.

          Fill the Rolls: Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the sausage filling onto the wide end of each triangle. Roll the dough tightly around the filling, starting from the wide end and tucking in the sides as you go.

            Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the rolled sausage crescents on a greased baking sheet or a lined baking tray. Ensure they are spaced a bit apart to allow for expansion while baking.

              Apply Egg Wash: Brush the tops of the crescent rolls with the beaten egg for a golden crust.

                Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 12-15 minutes, or until the crescents are golden brown.

                  Garnish and Serve: Once done, remove from the oven, let cool for a couple of minutes, and garnish with fresh herbs if desired. Serve warm.
