Sausage Cream Cheese Crescents

(Note: These are intentionally un-sauced—but for a dipping upgrade, whisk ½ cup sour cream + 1 Tbsp Dijon + 1 tsp honey + pinch of cayenne.)

Serving Suggestions

With maple syrup for sweet-savory brunch magic

Alongside a Bloody Mary bar (celery sticks, pickled veggies, olives)

Stuffed into slider buns with arugula for mini sandwiches

As a savory twist on holiday charcuterie: pair with cornichons and grainy mustard

Storage & Make-Ahead Tips

Refrigerate unbaked: Shape, cover, chill up to 24 hours—bake 2–3 minutes longer.

Freeze unbaked: Arrange on sheet, freeze solid, transfer to bag. Bake from frozen—20–22 minutes.

Reheat baked: 5 minutes at 350°F—never microwave (soggy crust).

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use plant-based sausage?

Yes—choose a high-fat variety (like Impossible or Field Roast) and add 1 Tbsp olive oil to filling for moisture.

Why are my crescents leaking?

Overfilling or under-sealing. Use 1 tsp filling max, and pinch seams firmly. Chill filled crescents 10 min before baking.

Can I make them ahead?

Absolutely—the overnight chill improves flavor melding and prevents spreading.
