I’ve been on the lookout for fresh appetizer recipes this holiday season. Enter the Sausage, Cream Cheese & Rotel Crescents. These warm and filling two bite appetizers are comforting and so tasty. You can jazz up the flavor by adding extra optional herbs like parsley and cilantro.

How to Make Sausage Crescents:

• Brown the sausage and let cool.
• Drain the Rotel tomatoes very well. A fine mesh colander works great for this!
• Let the cream cheese come to room temperature.
• Preheat the oven to 375-f degrees.
• Chop any additional herbs you plan on adding.
• Combine the sausage, cream cheese, drained Rotel, and any additional herbs together in a mixing bowl.
• Unroll the crescent triangles and cut each triangle up the middle to create two very skinny, long triangles.
• Use a small cookie scoop to add small scoops to the base of each crescent triangle and roll up.
• Place the crescents on a parchment lined baking sheet about 2 inches apart.
• Bake for 15 minutes until golden brown.
