Instructions
Step 1: Preheat Your Oven
1. Set your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2: Prepare the Sausage Mixture
1. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage until browned, breaking it into small crumbles as it cooks.
2. Add a pinch of salt and pepper if desired.
3. Reduce the heat to low and stir in the cream cheese until melted and fully combined with the sausage. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Step 3: Assemble the Crescent Bites
1. On a greased or parchment-lined baking sheet, unroll one crescent roll sheet and lay it flat, leaving a small border around the edges.
2. Evenly spread the sausage and cream cheese mixture over the dough.
3. Unroll the second crescent roll sheet and place it over the filling, gently pressing the edges to seal.
Step 4: Bake
1. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the crescent dough is golden brown and flaky.
Step 5: Slice and Serve
1. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for a few minutes.
2. Slice into bite-sized squares or rectangles and serve warm.
Tips
• Add Flavor: Sprinkle in garlic powder, onion powder, or red pepper flakes to the sausage mixture for extra flavor.
• Cheese Upgrade: Mix shredded cheddar or mozzarella into the filling for a cheesier bite.
• Serve with Dips: Pair with ranch dressing, honey mustard, or marinara for dipping.
Storage Options
• Refrigeration: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• Freezing: Freeze unbaked bites for up to 2 months. Bake directly from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the cooking time.
• Reheating: Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) until warmed through, or use an air fryer for extra crispiness.
