Crescent Sausage Bites Recipe
The Crescent Sausage Bites Recipe is a simple, tasty and crowd-pleasing snack. These bites are flaky, cheesy and full of savory sausage flavor.
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground sausage
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 ounces cream cheese softened
- 2 cans refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 1 egg for egg wash, optional
Instructions
Cook the Sausage
- Heat a skillet over medium heat. Cook the sausage until browned and crumbly. Drain any extra grease and let it cool slightly.
Make the Filling
- In a mixing bowl, combine cooked sausage, cream cheese, and shredded cheddar. Stir until creamy and well mixed.
Prepare the Dough
- Open the crescent roll cans and separate the triangles. You can also keep them as rectangles and cut them later.
Add the Filling
- Place a spoonful of sausage mixture on each dough piece. Roll the dough around the filling and seal the edges.
Bake the Bites
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the bites on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush with egg wash if you want a shiny finish. Bake for 12–15 minutes or until golden brown.
Serve and Enjoy
- Let the bites cool for a few minutes. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
- Don’t overfill the dough; it may leak out.
- Use spicy sausage for extra flavor.
- Add a pinch of garlic powder or herbs to the filling.
- Make them ahead and bake later for fresh snacks.
- Store leftovers in the fridge and reheat in the oven.
