Sausage Cheese Croissant
These amazing croissants are filled with sausage, cream cheese, bell peppers and onions. They're easy to make and are terrific to serve for a holiday or company breakfast.
Ingredients
- 1 lb. bulk pork sausage mild 1 egg white Poppy seeds
- 2 pkgs. cream cheese softened
- 2 cans crescent rolls
- 1 red bell pepper chopped
- 1 small onion chopped
- 8 oz. fresh mushrooms sliced (optional)
- 1 large egg white
- poppy seeds
Instructions
- In a large skillet over medium heat, fry sausage and drain grease.
- Add bell pepper, onion and mushrooms if using.
- Sauté until almost tender about 3-5 minutes.
- Place sausage mixture in a bowl with softened cream cheese.
- (I usually soften cheese in microwave).
- On sprayed cookie sheets spread out the crescent rolls.
- (Spread each can on a different cookie sheet).
- Pinch the dough together to seal edges well.
- Spread half of the the sausage/cream cheese mixture in the center of one of the crescent rolls.
- Repeat process with other crescent roll.
- Then bring sides together and pinch together.
- (I usually make horizontal cuts in the dough so that they form a kind of braid over the sausage mixture.)
- Spread egg white on top.
- Sprinkle with poppy seeds.
- Bake as directed for crescent rolls (375 for about 15-20 minutes), but you need to keep in oven until golden brown.
- It always takes longer – about 20-30 minutes.
- Makes two large croissants.
Notes
NOTE: This is also excellent without the bell peppers, onions and mushrooms.
