Sausage Crescent Rolls are made with a spicy seasoned sausage mixed with cream cheese and wrapped in crescent rolls. Great for breakfast!
I made these for a get together brunch, and my uncle couldn’t quit eating them. He said they were the best thing on the buffet.
They taste really yummy with Jimmy Dean’s Hot Sausage… just make sure you pinch the crescent dough together at the precut seams so they don’t tear apart.

Great for breakfast or a late morning brunch for friends.
- 1 pound fresh ground spicy pork sausage

- 2 8 ounce packages refrigerated crescent rolls
- 1 egg white lightly beaten
- 1 tablespoon poppy seeds
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- In a medium skillet, lightly brown sausage and drain. While sausage is still hot, add cream cheese and stir until cheese is melted and mixture is creamy. Cool completely.
- Separate crescent rolls and arrange into two rectangles. Form log of sausage mixture lengthwise down center of each rectangle. Fold over the long sides of pastry to cover sausage log. Place on ungreased cookie sheet, seam down. Brush with egg white and sprinkle with poppy seeds.
- Bake 20 minutes until crust is golden.
- When completely cooled, slice into one and one-half inch slices.
Tips and Tidbits About Sausage Crescent Rolls
This is really a versatile recipe. You can try different kinds of sausage or flavored cream cheese for different spins.
For another variation, add thin slices of pepperoni on the bottom of crescent roll before the sausage mixture and shred cheddar on top of sausage; roll pastry over.
Instead of making as directed you can also cut small squares from the crescent dough and make cups in a small muffin tin. And then put filling in and bake them.
Nice individual appetizers and everybody loves them!
