Sausage Crescent Squares
Crescent rolls are like the swiss army knife of the kitchen. I always try to stock up when I see them go on sale, especially during the holidays because they’re good for quick and easy breakfast/brunch recipes and appetizers. Simply pop open a can of crescent rolls and you know that you’re halfway done. Sausage Crescent Squares are perfect example of a breakfast that is so fast to throw together thanks to these recipe sidekicks.
This recipe for Sausage Crescent Squares only has three ingredients, which makes it a great base for making it your own new special family recipe. You can add different ingredients to the sausage mixture like mushrooms, onions, or other veggies your family likes.
If you want to serve these as finger foods/appetizer bites, cut them into small squares and serve it with a dipping sauce like Honey Mustard and you have a fast and easy Game Day snack!
How to work with the Crescent Dough:
Crescent Sheets: This recipe calls for sheets and if you use them all you have to do is unroll them.

VARIATIONS ON SAUSAGE CRESCENT SQUARES
- Cheese: Sprinkle sharp cheddar cheese to the inside filling to make it even cheesier.
- Veggies: Sauté diced onion and green peppers with the pork sausage. Add diced jalapeño and serve with a side of Salsa for a bit of heat. Use seasonal veggies or whatever your favorites are.
