These crispy sausage crescent roll bites combine savory sausage with flaky, buttery crescent rolls for an irresistible appetizer that’s quick and easy to make. Perfect for potlucks, game nights, or casual snacks.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 package refrigerated crescent roll dough (8 oz / 226 g)
  • 12 oz (340 g) ground sausage (spicy or mild)
  • 1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese (optional)
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1 tablespoon butter, melted
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley, finely chopped for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  2. In a skillet over medium heat, cook ground sausage, chopped onion, and minced garlic until browned and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.
  3. Stir in smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Remove from heat and let cool for about 5 minutes.
  4. Unroll crescent roll dough on a clean surface. Press perforations to seal seams. Cut dough into 12 equal squares (about 2×2 inches).
  5. Place about 1 tablespoon of sausage mixture in the center of each dough square. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top if using.
  6. Fold each square over the filling and pinch edges firmly to seal, shaping into triangles or rectangles.
  7. Brush each bite with melted butter using a basting brush.
  8. Place bites on prepared baking sheet with small gaps between them. Bake for 15-18 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
  9. Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving.

Notes

Pre-cook sausage to avoid soggy bites. Seal dough edges firmly to prevent leaks. Brush with melted butter for golden crisp. Rotate baking sheet halfway if bottoms brown too fast. Let sausage mixture cool before filling dough to prevent sogginess.
