- 4 oz (115g) cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

- Prepare the Filling: In a medium bowl, mix together the cooked sausage, softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, green onions (if using), garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
- Roll Out Dough: Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into individual triangles.
