- 8 oz. cream cheese, softened
- 2 cans refrigerated crescent rolls
- Pepper, to taste
Instructions/Directions:
- Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) to get it ready for baking.
- Prepare the Crescent Dough: Unroll the crescent dough and slice each triangle in half lengthwise. This will create smaller triangles perfect for wrapping.
- Cook the Sausage: In a skillet, cook the ground sausage over medium heat until it’s browned. Once cooked, set the sausage aside to cool slightly.
- Mix the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked sausage, softened cream cheese, shredded cheese, and a pinch of pepper. Stir the mixture until it’s well combined and smooth.
- Assemble the Bites: Place a small portion of the sausage mixture on the wide end of each crescent triangle. Roll up each triangle from the wide end, making sure to encase the filling completely.
- Bake: Arrange the stuffed crescents on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 15 minutes or until the crescents are golden and fully cooked.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the bites to cool slightly before serving to ensure the filling sets and they’re easier to handle.
