Ingredients

  • 1 tube crescent roll dough
  • 0.5 pound breakfast sausage, cooked and crumbled
  • 1 package cream cheese, softened
  • 1 can Rotel diced tomatoes with green chilies, drained
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
  • to taste Salt and pepper
  • for garnish Fresh cilantro

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked and crumbled sausage with the softened cream cheese until well blended.
  3. Stir in the drained Rotel tomatoes, shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix until the filling is evenly distributed.
  4. Open the crescent roll dough and separate it into individual triangles. Place the base of each triangle on a clean surface.
  5. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the sausage mixture onto the wide end of each triangle. Roll the dough over the filling, starting from the base and rolling towards the tip. Place them seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the crescents are golden brown and cooked through.
  7. Once baked, remove from the oven and allow them to cool slightly. Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro before serving.

💡 Chef's Notes

Arrange the crescents on a serving platter, drizzling a little extra melted cheese over the top or placing a small bowl of salsa on the side for dipping. Enjoy!
