Ingredients
-
1 pound ground sausage
-
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
-
2 cans refrigerated crescent roll dough
-
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
-
1 teaspoon dried oregano
-
½ teaspoon garlic powder
-
¼ teaspoon black pepper
-
1 egg, beaten
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat and Cook Sausage
-
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
-
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage until fully browned.
-
Drain any excess fat and let the sausage cool slightly.
Step 2: Make the Filling
-
In a large bowl, combine:
-
Cooked sausage
-
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
-
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
-
1 teaspoon oregano
-
½ teaspoon garlic powder
-
¼ teaspoon black pepper
-
-
Mix everything until well combined.
Step 3: Assemble the Crescent Ring
-
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
Unroll crescent dough and separate into triangles.
-
Arrange the triangles in a circle with the wide ends facing the center and the tips pointing outward. Overlap them slightly to form a star-like ring.
-
Spoon the sausage mixture along the wide base of the crescent dough, creating a ring of filling.
-
Fold the pointed ends of each triangle over the filling and tuck them underneath the ring.
Step 4: Egg Wash and Bake
-
Brush the top of the dough with the beaten egg to give it a golden, glossy finish.
-
Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the crescent dough is fully baked and golden brown.
Step 5: Cool and Serve
-
Let the ring cool slightly before slicing.
-
Serve warm with optional dips like spicy mustard, ranch, or marinara sauce.
