Ingredients
- 1 lb hot sausage pork or turkey
- 1 package cream cheese 8 oz
- 2 packages crescent rolls
- Dash of salt
- Dash of ground black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F.
- Lightly grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper.
- Place the sausage in a sauté pan over medium heat.
- Cook the sausage until fully browned, breaking it into small crumbles as it cooks.
- Drain any excess grease from the pan.
- Season the cooked sausage with a dash of salt and ground black pepper.
- Add the cream cheese to the cooked sausage.
- Stir until the cream cheese is fully melted and evenly blended with the sausage. The mixture should be thick, creamy, and spreadable.
- Unroll one package of crescent rolls and place the dough on the prepared baking sheet.
- Gently press the seams together with your fingers to form one solid sheet of dough.
- Spread the sausage and cream cheese mixture evenly over the crescent roll dough, leaving approximately a 1/2-inch border around the edges.
- Unroll the second package of crescent rolls and place it over the sausage mixture.
- Gently press the seams of the top dough layer together.
- Press the edges of the top and bottom dough layers together to seal the filling inside.
- Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the crescent roll dough is golden brown and fully baked.
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the baked crescent layer to cool for a few minutes.
- Cut into small squares using a sharp knife or pizza cutter.
- Serve warm.
Notes
To make these Crescent Sausage Bites gluten free, use certified gluten-free crescent-style dough or gluten-free pastry dough.
Confirm that the sausage, cream cheese, salt, and black pepper are labeled gluten free and do not contain gluten-based fillers or additives.
If gluten-free crescent dough is not available, use gluten-free pizza dough or gluten-free puff pastry as an alternative, adjusting the baking time as needed.
