Ingredients:
- 1 package refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 8 ounces breakfast sausage (pork or turkey)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup finely chopped green onions (optional)
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
- Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C).
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage, breaking it up into crumbles with a spoon or spatula. Cook until browned and cooked through. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into triangles.
- In a bowl, combine the cooked sausage, shredded cheese, green onions (if using), garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well to ensure all the ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Spoon a small amount of the sausage and cheese mixture onto the wide end of each crescent roll triangle. Roll the dough up, starting from the wide end, and tuck the ends under to seal.
- Place the stuffed crescent rolls in a single layer in the air fryer basket. You may need to cook them in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
- Cook the sausage crescent cheese balls in the air fryer for 8-10 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Remove the sausage crescent cheese balls from the air fryer and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
- Serve the sausage crescent cheese balls warm as a delicious appetizer. They are great on their own or with your favorite dipping sauce, such as marinara or mustard.
