You will need (ingredients):
- 1 (8 oz) package refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 1/2 lb. breakfast sausage
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened

- 1 egg (beaten, for egg wash)

Directions:
1. Preheat your oven to 375F (19C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

4. Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into triangles. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the sausage mixture onto the wide end of each triangle.
5. Roll the dough starting from the wide end, tucking in the filling as you go, and place the croissants on the prepared baking sheet.
6. Brush each croissant with the beaten egg for a golden finish.
7. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
8. Serve warm and enjoy!
