I cant remember where I got this recipe. All I know is I can't stop making these little buggers. My son swears by these and asks for them for breakfast every weekend.I entered these Sausage Cream Cheese Crescents in a contest on one of our local radio stations. It was for a Valentines Day Breakfast that you could make for your sweetheart that teamed up with Philadelphia Cream Cheese.
I really didn't think any thing of it. Boy was I surprised when I got a phone call and they told me that my recipe took 1 st place, I couldn't believe it, I was so shocked I couldn't imagine something so simple would be the winner.I love sharing this recipe and I get tons of compliments every time I make them. Go on give them a try you will be pleasantly surprised at how easy and tasty they are.
Preheat oven according to crescent rolls packaging. In a skillet fry the sausage until cooked and brown. Drain off any extra grease.
In mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese & cooked sausage Mix well. 
Open crescent rolls and unroll dough, place (1) heaping tablespoon of filling on each triangle on the widest end & roll up starting at the widest end towards the point. If using the big and flaky crescents use (2) heaping tablespoons of filling.
Place on lightly greased (cooking spray works well) baking sheet and bake according to crescent roll package or until golden brown.
Enjoy!!!!! These are great if you need something to take to a fundraiser, potluck, brunch or luncheon. They are great served with scrambled eggs and fresh fruit or yogurt.

These are the greatest things!! I am so glad you told me about this recipe! I have to make these all the time now! My husband cannot get enough! They are so easy to make and everyone just loves them!
Hi there!! I just recently found your site and am love already!! :)
I made these last night. We often have breakfast for dinner for a fun change. I made scrambled eggs with cheese, these and fresh fruit.
They FLEW off the table!!! LOL!! They were a huge hit and we warmed them up for breakfast again this morning. My husband asked me to make these again, he really liked them. That's a big compliment.
Keep those recipes coming - I'm really enjoying them!! Thanks!! :)
OOoooh. I am so glad I saw these on your sidebar. I have been wanting to make something like this for a long time so I am going with your recipe. Another one to add to my sidebar list of things to make!! Thank you!!!
I might just make these for Thanksgiving breakfast! My two year old loves sausage.. It's really the only meat he'll eat so I'm sure he will gobble these up. Thanks for sharing!!
Rattlesnake Eggs taste great and are soo simple to make. I made them on friday night, along with a bunch of other finger foods. Between 4 people (3 guys), I only got one and that was the one I didn't place on the serving tray. Everyone liked them so much that they have request me to make them for Thanksgiving. This is a keeper!!! Thanks!!!
This is very similar to something I make that you may want to try. Instead of sausage, use canned chicken breast. Either 1 small can chicken, 3 oz cream cheese and one roll of crescent rolls or for a larger recipe, use 1 large can chicken breast, 8 oz cream cheese, and 3 pks of crescent rolls. Mix it up, and spoon onto the crescent roll. Roll up and bake. They are really good.
Hey Tina!! Ok I finally got the right things to make this lol so I am making them tonight to add to our Christmas breakfast tomorrow :) I hope they stay good in the frig til morning!
I made the sausage cream cheese crescents this week. My second son has had them for breakfast and afternoon snack for two days in a row!!! My husband and I loved them too. What a great combination of flavors! Thanks for sharing your recipe!
Making these for breakfast tomorrow....yum, yum!
A friend of mine has been making these for years, but with a twist. He uses hot & spicy sausage, and also sprinkles shredded cheese before rolling.
Also if you really want to kick it up he add jalapeneos.
Just made these for supper tonight and they were great! Thanks for the recipe!
I found this facebook page off a friends page this morning and made these this morning!!...UH-MAZING!!
This website is a lifesaver!! I am a college student so being on my own I am having to fend for myself, and when i start reading receipes that have crazy ingredients i just stop reading!! My cooking consits of ramen and shake-n-bake chicken!! Iam actually some what terrified of making any other kind of meat....but so far your recepies seem pretty easy!!
satisifed eater
Sarah!!
I have sausage cooking for these right now! I am hoping my picky breakfast guy will eat these this week. :)
I am on a sausage kick right now so this looks amazing! gonna try them out soon thanks for the recipe.
The sausage and cream cheese filling is what I use to make stuffed mushrooms, except then the filling has the chopped up mushroom stems in it too.
My grandma-in-law also makes something similar to this, but with canned flaky biscuits formed into muffin cups. And with a lot more ingredients in the filling.
I'm sooo making this this weekend.
just a couple of questions, what kind of sausage is this? do you dice up normal sausages? is it sausage mince? and what are crescent rolls? could you i use puff or shortcrust pastry instead? sorry, we don't have the same ingredients here in Aus, but i would love to try this recipe!
It is ground breakfast sausage. As for the crescent rolls if you cannot find them I found a link for two homemade versions that I have included. You might be able to use puff pastry but I have never tried this reicpe using it.

thanks for the reply. i will attempt to make this with puff pastry and simply squeeze the sausage contents out and see how i go!!!
These are GREAT. I make something very similar, but in a larger size, using the large sheets of crescent roll dough that has no perforations in it. The filling has cream cheese, sausage & chopped green onions in it, then you put it down the middle of the sheet of dough, cut strips in the sides of the dough sheet, and braid them up over the top of the filling. Hit it with a little egg wash and bake - always a potluck hit!
I love these, thank you for sharing.
I make this in a large, long braid, but add green onions to the filling - yum! I always have to make more than one if I take it to a potluck.
Could you assemble these the night before? Would the dough be ok overnight in the refrigerator?
I have never assembled the crescents the night before. Not sure if the dough would dry out or not. If you brown up the sausage the night before you can mix the cream cheese together with the sausage and store it in the fridge. They only take a few minutes to assemble in the morning.
My husband makes those and everyone who tries them, loves them! A delicious addition to the recipe is grated parmesan cheese!
My family loves these!! My FIL introduced these to us about 17 years ago and we've been making them ever since!!!
These look and sound like the perfect meal for breakfast. Do you use two of the triangles together, they look large?
No these are just the regular sized crescent rolls. The photo was takes at a closer view.
I would like to ask how many these make, it calls for 2 pkgs of cresent rolls? Thanks!
Recipe makes 16 crescents.
I made these tonight.
I used fat free cream cheese
Reduced fat crescents
And fat free shredded cheese
Link turkey sausage that I cut up into tiny pieces
Then I used sugar free syrup to dip these delicious little gems in.
Hubby says I can make them every other night if I want. WIN WIN!
Great recipe! I used Jimmy Dean maple sausage, added hald of a onions and parsley seasoning with the sausage as it was cooking! then drained then mixed with the cream cheese. then dollop into the roll! GREAT RECIPE
I forgot I used grated parmesan cheese too! it was great addition
I also make these by pressing out one can of crescent rolls, putting the sausage cream cheese mixture on top, sprinkling some extra cheese (!), and then topping with another can of crescent rolls and an extra little bit of cheese.
Bake them and then you can cut them up into square bite sized pieces. Nummalicious!
I have been making these since 2002. Seems they have came a long way to now be posted on an Internet blog.
Congratulations on your reward!! That is amazing!!
I love these but my family loves my breakfast casserole better.
