Ingredients
Scale
Meat:
- 1 pound bulk sausage
Dairy:
- 2 cups shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
Bread:
- 1 tube (8 ounces) refrigerated crescent rolls
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F and prepare a baking dish with a light coating of cooking spray.
- Spread a generous portion of pre-cooked sausage crumbles and grated cheese along the broader edge of each crescent triangle.
- Carefully roll the dough from the wide end toward the pointed tip, ensuring the filling remains securely tucked inside.
- Arrange the rolled crescents in the prepared baking dish with the seam facing downward, positioning them close together without overlapping.
- Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 15-17 minutes, watching for a golden-brown exterior and fully melted cheese.
- Remove from the oven and let the crescent rolls cool for 2-3 minutes before serving to allow the filling to set and prevent burning.
Notes
- Experiment with different cheeses like sharp cheddar or pepper jack to add a zesty kick to your crescent rolls.
- Use lean turkey sausage for a healthier alternative that still delivers rich, savory flavor.
- Prevent soggy bottoms by patting cooked sausage dry with paper towels before filling the crescents.
- Sprinkle everything bagel seasoning on top before baking for an extra burst of texture and taste.
