Sausage Crescent Nuggets

Preheat oven to 350F. In skillet, brown sausage and drain well. While sausage is still warm, add cream cheese and stir until melted and creamy. Cool.

Separate dough into two rectangles. Pinch perforations to seal the dough. Form a log of the sausage/cream cheese mixture lengthwise down the center of each rectangle of dough. Fold sides of dough over, covering the sausage log. Place on an ungreased baking sheet, seam side down. Brush with beaten egg, sprinkle with poppy seeds. Bake 20 minutes at 350F until golden brown. Cool. Slice into 1/2″ slices.

These can be baked, frozen, thawed, and warmed before serving.

You can substitute 2 cans drained chopped mushrooms for the sausage. Add a little dried marjoram, thyme or Italian herb seasoning. Or try adding some jalapenos or use hot sausage.
