Sausage Yummies
Savory sausage and creamy cheese stuffed crescent rolls, a quick bite with smoky sausage, rich cream cheese, and flaky pastry—perfect for family dinners or game-day snacks.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Cook the sausage in a skillet until browned and cooked through.
- Drain excess fat from the sausage.
- Open two cans of crescent rolls, remove the dough from the tube, separate into individual pieces and lay flat on a baking sheet, pinching perforations together to flatten.
- In a bowl, mix the cooked sausage with the cream cheese until well combined.
- Spread the sausage and cream cheese mixture evenly over the flattened crescent roll pieces.
- Cover with the remaining two cans of crescent rolls, laying them over the top.
- Bake at 375°F until the rolls are golden brown, about 15–20 minutes.
- Cool the baked rolls, then slice into individual servings.
Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, consider mixing in some shredded cheese or chopped green onions into the sausage and cream cheese mixture. You can substitute the sausage with turkey or chicken sausage for a lighter option. If you're short on time, pre-cooked sausage can be used. This recipe is versatile, much like the Pepperoni Quiche Brunch, allowing for various ingredient tweaks.
Serving Suggestions
These Sausage Yummies are perfect as a party appetizer or a savory breakfast dish. Serve them with a side of fresh fruit or a light salad for balance. They also pair wonderfully with a warm dip or some spicy mustard for extra flavor. For a brunch spread, include items like the Breakfast Pizza(Serves 6 Or More) to complement the meal.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the slices in an oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes, or until warmed through. Avoid microwaving, as it may make the crescent rolls soggy.
