What You Need To Make This Crescents with Cream Cheese Sausage Recipe?

Cream Cheese: Cream cheese is essential for adding a luxurious texture to the filling. For a classic touch use plain cream cheese. Don’t hesitate to get creative! You can explore flavored options like chive and onion garlic and herb or sun-dried tomato for a thrilling twist.
Salt and Pepper: Season the sausage filling with salt and pepper according to your taste preferences. These basic seasonings enhance the flavor profile of the dish creating a balanced and savory delight.
Crescent Dough: Look for refrigerated crescent dough, at your grocery store. The pre-packaged dough offers convenience and quick preparation. If necessary gently stretch the dough to fit your baking pan evenly for that crescent creation.
