🔪 How to Make Them – Step-by-Step
Step 1: Prep the Oven
Preheat to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment or a silicone mat.
Step 2: Cook the Sausage
Brown the sausage in a skillet over medium heat until fully cooked. Drain and let it cool.
Step 3: Mix the Filling
In a bowl, combine softened cream cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
Step 4: Roll Out the Dough
Unroll crescent dough onto a clean surface and pinch seams to form a large rectangle.
Step 5: Add Filling & Roll Up
Spread the cream cheese mix in the center, layer with sausage, and roll up the dough into a log.
Step 6: Slice & Arrange
Cut the roll into 1-inch pieces. Place cut-side down on the baking sheet. Brush with egg wash and sprinkle with optional toppings.
Step 7: Bake to Perfection
Bake 12–15 minutes, or until golden and puffed.
Step 8: Let Cool & Serve
Cool slightly before serving — filling will be hot! Enjoy as-is or with dips like ranch, ketchup, or mustard.
💡 Freezer Tip: These store well — freeze before or after baking. Just add a few extra minutes when reheating from frozen.
