Air Fryer Sausage and Cream Cheese Crescent Rolls are going to be your new favorite obsession. You can eat them for breakfast, lunch, or anytime that the craving hits...and they of course make perfect game day/ get-together appetizers! The best part? All you need are a few easy ingredients and a short amount of time. You can make them in the air fryer or the oven!
INGREDIENTS
- 2 cans crescent rolls, refridgerated
- 1/2 lb sausage, breakfast
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 10 ounces rotel, 1 can, drained
- 1/4 tsp onion powder
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
INSTRUCTIONS
- Separate the uncooked sauce into small pieces and place in the air fryer basket.
- Cook for 6 minutes at 380 degrees.
- Remove the basket from the air fryer and crumble the pieces using a wooden spoon or spatula.
- *If cooking on stove top, brown the sausage in a pan until all pink is gone and drain grease.
- Using a fine mesh strainer, drain the can or rotel and pat dry with a paper towel.
- Add the softened cream cheese, sausage, drained rotel, garlic and onion powder to a medium bowl. Stir until fully incorporated. Set this aside.
- Unroll the first can of crescent rolls. If you prefer bite sized rolls, pull apart each triangle then cut those triangles in half (this will give you 16 baked rolls from one can) or if you prefer larger crescent rolls, just separate the perforated triangles (this will give you 8 baked rolls from one can).
- Fill each crescent roll with the sausage/cream cheese filling and roll the crescents up.
- Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray and place half of the batch in the air fryer and cook at 320 degrees for 5-7 minutes or until golden brown.
- *If baking in the oven, preheat to 350 degrees and place all crescent rolls on a 9X13 inch pan sprayed with non-stick cooking spray and bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.
- Repeat the process with the second can of crescent rolls and the remaining half of filling or, cover the filling with a lid or plastic wrap and make the second half of the batch up to 3 days later.
- You can brush on melted butter and sprinkle on chopped parsley to the top of each roll.
NOTES
Storage Instructions:
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 3 days. To reheat, just pop them back into the air fryer for about 3 minutes at 320 degrees.
