Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb sausage hot or mild
  • 2 8 oz cans refrigerated crescent rolls
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 1 egg egg wash mixed with 1 tbsp water, optional

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook sausage until browned and crumbled. Drain on paper towels and let cool.
  3. In a bowl, mix the cooled sausage with shredded Monterey Jack cheese and set aside.
  4. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone liner. Place a 5-inch inverted bowl in the center.
  5. Open crescent roll cans and separate into 16 triangles. Arrange them in a circle around the bowl, overlapping the wide ends and pointing the tips outward.
  6. Remove the bowl. Spoon the sausage-cheese mixture around the center of the ring.
  7. Fold each crescent tip over the filling and tuck it under to seal.
  8. Brush with egg wash if desired, then bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
  9. Let cool for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

Use a small bowl in the center to create a perfect ring shape. Egg wash adds a golden, glossy finish.
