Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground breakfast sausage and cook, breaking it apart as it browns, until no pink remains.
Drain any excess fat from the skillet.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked sausage, softened cream cheese, Dijon mustard, smoked paprika, minced garlic, onion powder, shredded cheddar cheese, and chopped chives. Stir until well combined.
Separate the crescent roll dough into triangles.
Place about 1 tablespoon of the sausage mixture onto the wide end of each crescent roll triangle.
Roll each crescent roll up, starting from the wide end and rolling toward the pointed end.
Place the rolls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them at least 1 inch apart.
Bake for 15 minutes, or until the crescent rolls are golden brown.
