Recipe:
Ingredients:
- 2 cans (8 oz each) crescent roll dough
- 1 lb ground breakfast sausage
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 4 large eggs (3 scrambled, 1 for egg wash)
- 1/4 cup diced onion (optional)
- 1/4 cup diced bell pepper (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tsp dried parsley (for garnish)
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Prepare the Filling:
- In a skillet, cook the sausage over medium heat until browned. Drain any excess grease.
- Add diced onion and bell pepper (if using) and sauté until softened.
- Scramble 3 eggs in a separate pan, seasoning with salt and pepper, and mix them into the sausage mixture.
- Remove from heat and stir in the shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheeses.
- Assemble the Wreath:
- Unroll the crescent roll dough and arrange the triangles in a circle on the baking sheet, with the wide ends overlapping in the center and the points facing outward, forming a sunburst shape.
- Spoon the sausage and cheese mixture onto the wide ends of the triangles.
- Fold the pointed ends of the dough over the filling and tuck them under the wide ends to form a wreath.
- Brush with Egg Wash:
- Beat the remaining egg and brush it over the dough to give it a golden, shiny finish.
- Bake:
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the crescent rolls are golden brown.
- Garnish and Serve:
- Sprinkle with dried parsley for a festive touch. Serve warm and enjoy!
