Description
A delicious, savory, and incredibly easy appetizer with a spicy, cheesy filling wrapped in a flaky crescent roll crust.
Ingredients
- → 1 pound plain sausage, cooked and crumbled
- → 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- → 10-ounce can Rotel diced tomatoes with green chilies, drained very well
- → 2 tablespoons parsley, finely chopped (optional)
- → 1–2 tablespoons cilantro, finely chopped (optional)
- → 2 tubes of crescent rolls, cut each triangle up the middle the long way
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Cook sausage in a skillet until browned. Drain grease and transfer to a bowl. Let it cool slightly.
- Add the softened cream cheese and well-drained Rotel to the bowl with the sausage. Mix until well combined.
- Open crescent roll tubes and cut each triangle in half lengthwise to create two long triangles.
- Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the filling onto the wide end of each dough triangle. Roll up, starting from the wide end, pinching the edges to seal.
- Place the rolls, seam-side down, on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Make sure your cream cheese is at room temperature for a lump-free filling.
- Drain the Rotel very well to prevent a soggy crust.
- You can prepare the filling a day ahead of time to save on prep.
- These are best served warm, right out of the oven.
