1 lb (450g) ground breakfast sausage (mild or spicy)

1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened

2 cans (8 oz each) refrigerated crescent roll dough

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)

1/2 teaspoon onion powder (optional)

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1 egg (for egg wash, optional)

In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked sausage, softened cream cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper.

Starting from the wide end, roll the dough toward the point, enclosing the filling.

Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

You can add shredded cheddar cheese to the filling for extra flavor.
