Step 3: Prepare the Filling
In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, crumbled sausage, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and shredded cheddar cheese (if using). Stir until well blended.
Step 4: Roll Out the Dough
Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into 8 triangles.
Step 5: Fill and Roll
Place a spoonful of the sausage and cream cheese mixture at the wide end of each crescent triangle. Roll each triangle from the wide end to the tip, enclosing the filling inside. Place on the prepared baking sheet, seam side down.
Step 6: Apply Egg Wash and Topping
Brush the tops of the croissants with beaten egg for a golden, glossy finish. Sprinkle with sesame seeds or everything bagel seasoning for added texture and flavor.
Step 7: Bake to Perfection
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the croissants are golden brown and flaky.
Step 8: Serve and Enjoy!
Let the croissants cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm with a side of fresh fruit or a steaming cup of coffee.
