This quick and easy recipe for Sausage Cream Cheese Crescents is the perfect savory snack or lunch option. With just a handful of ingredients and under 30 minutes, you can create delicious, golden crescents filled with a creamy, flavorful sausage mixture. Ideal for beginner cooks and budget-friendly meals.
Ingredients
Makes 8 servings
- 1 pork sausage
- 1 cream cheese
- 2 green onion
- mushroom
Method
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Scramble the sausage and crumble VERY well. Drain and rinse under running water to get rid of any excess grease. Wipe any grease out of the skillet and replace sausage on heat.
Add in cream cheese and any other ingredients you might like. Stir over low heat until cream cheese is melted and the whole mixture is blended well.
Unroll the crescents into triangles and place a small amount of filling in the center of the longest end. Roll, pinching the edges to seal in the filling and place on a lightly sprayed baking sheet.
Bake until golden brown, about 12-15 minute Watch carefully, so they don't burn.
Easy swaps
- Instead of 1 pork sausage, use 1 turkey sausage or plant-based sausage crumbles
- Instead of 1 cream cheese, use 1 reduced-fat cream cheese or dairy-free cream cheese
- Instead of 2 green onion, use 1/4 cup chopped chives or 1/4 cup finely diced onion
- Instead of mushroom, use 1/2 cup finely chopped bell peppers or zucchini
