Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb. breakfast sausage, cooked and crumbled
- 8 oz. cream cheese, softened to room temperature
- 10 oz. can of Rotel diced tomatoes and green chilies, thoroughly drained
- 2 cans (8 oz. each) of refrigerated crescent rolls
Instructions
- Prepare the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375ºF to ensure the crescent rolls will bake evenly and become perfectly golden brown.
- Mix the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked and crumbled breakfast sausage with the softened cream cheese and the thoroughly drained Rotel diced tomatoes and green chilies. Stir the mixture until everything is evenly combined.
- Prepare the Crescent Rolls: Carefully unroll the crescent roll dough from the cans. Slice each triangle in half lengthwise to create two narrower triangles, preparing them to be filled.
- Fill the Crescents: Using a small cookie scoop or a tablespoon, dollop the sausage mixture onto the wider end of each triangle. Carefully roll the dough towards the pointed tip, making sure to enclose the filling securely within.
- Bake: Arrange the filled crescents on a baking sheet, spacing them out evenly to ensure they cook thoroughly. Place into the preheated oven and bake for about 15 minutes, or until the crescents are puffed up and golden brown. Once done, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
