Croissant Sausage Bites

Perfect for surprise guests or when the family wants a snack. Each little bite is packed with flavour in these 3 ingredient sausage appetizers. Crescents are filled with hot pork sausage and cream cheese spread, making these sausage cream cheese bites as easy to create as they are delicious to eat. This is one unbeatable appetizer.

1 lb hot sausage (pork or turkey)
1 (8 oz) pkg cream cheese
2 pkgs crescent rolls
sea salt
black pepper, freshly ground

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C/170°C fan, Gas Mark 5).

In a sauté pan, brown sausage; drain.

Add a dash of salt and pepper. Blend in cream cheese until the cream cheese is melted.

Unroll one pkg of crescent rolls and place on a baking sheet. With your fingers, gently press the seams together to seal them.

Spread the sausage mixture evenly over the crescent roll dough, leaving about a ½" border along the edges.

Unroll the remaining package of crescent rolls and place on top of the sausage mixture.

Press the edges together to seal. Gently press the seams together.

Bake for about 20 minutes, or until crescent roll dough is golden brown.

Cut into small squares and serve. (A pizza cutter makes really quick and easy work of the cutting.)

Makes about 20 bites.
