Preparation Steps

• Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• In a skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and cooked through, about 6–8 minutes. Drain excess fat.
• In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar, sliced green onions, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until smooth and well mixed.
• Fold the cooked sausage into the cream cheese mixture until evenly distributed.
• Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate into 8 triangles. Spoon about 2 to 3 tablespoons of the sausage mixture onto the wide end of each triangle.
• Roll each triangle up toward the point to form crescents and place them seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
• Brush the tops of the crescents with the beaten egg to give them a golden finish.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes, or until the crescents are golden brown and cooked through.
• Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with extra sliced green onions if desired.
