Savory Rotel Sausage Cream Cheese Crescents Delight
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
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked and crumbled sausage with the softened cream cheese until well blended.
- 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.
- Open the crescent roll dough and separate it into individual triangles. Place the base of each triangle on a clean surface.
- 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.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the crescents are golden brown and cooked through.
- 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!
