Description

Sausage & Cheese Crescent Rings – A golden, flaky showstopper stuffed with savory sausage, melty cheddar, and herbs! Perfect for brunch, game day, or fuss-free entertaining. Pull apart the buttery layers and watch it disappear


Ingredients

Scale
  • 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.
