Sausage & Cheese Crescent Ring Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 lb (450 g) ground breakfast sausage

• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or a mix with mozzarella)

• 4 oz (about 115 g) cream cheese, softened

• 2 cans refrigerated crescent roll dough

• 1 egg (optional, for egg wash)

• Optional: finely chopped green onions, red bell pepper, or a pinch of garlic powder

 Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

2. Cook the sausage in a skillet over medium heat until browned. Drain excess grease.

3. In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked sausage, cream cheese, shredded cheese, and any optional add-ins (like green onions or peppers). Mix until evenly combined.

4. Unroll crescent dough and separate into triangles.

5. On a baking sheet (preferably lined with parchment), arrange the triangles in a circle, with the wide ends forming the inner ring and the points facing out, overlapping each piece slightly (it’ll look like a sun).

6. Spoon the sausage mixture around the base of the triangle ring.

7. Fold the pointed ends of the triangles over the filling and tuck them under the ring to seal.

8. Brush with beaten egg for a glossy finish (optional).

9. Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.

10. Let cool slightly before serving. Slice like a pie and enjoy!

Serving Tip: Serve with a little bowl of mustard, sriracha mayo, or spicy ranch on the side for dipping!
