Sausage and Cheese Crescent Ring

by

Key Ingredients 🧾✨

  • Ground sausage – The savory base of the filling. Medium-spiced works best, but adjust to your taste. Drain thoroughly to avoid a soggy pastry.

  • Crescent roll dough – Forms the golden, flaky ring. Refrigerated dough saves time and delivers buttery flavor.

  • Cheese blend – A mix of Monterey Jack and sharp cheddar for melty richness. Freshly grated cheese melts better than pre-shredded.

  • Egg mixture – Brushed on top for that irresistible golden shine.

  • Customizable additions – Garlic powder, herbs, or red pepper flakes personalize the flavor.

Step-by-Step Creation Process 👩‍🍳👨‍🍳

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. Cook the sausage in a skillet over medium heat until browned (8–10 min), then drain and cool completely.

  3. Combine sausage and cheese in a mixing bowl with any optional seasonings.

  4. Form the dough ring: Place an inverted 5–6 inch bowl in the center of your baking sheet. Separate dough into triangles and arrange in a circle with wide ends at the bowl and points out.

  5. Remove the bowl and add filling around the ring’s inner edge.

  6. Fold triangle points over the filling and tuck under the ring’s center.

  7. Brush with egg wash (whisk egg + 1 tbsp water) for golden color.

  8. Bake for 20–22 minutes, rotating halfway for even browning.

  9. Cool for 5–7 minutes before transferring to a serving platter.

  10. Garnish with parsley and serve with your favorite dipping sauce! 🌿🍽️

Ingredients List 🧂📋

  • 1 pound premium ground sausage (mild, medium, or hot)

  • 2 (8 oz) tubes refrigerated crescent roll dough

  • 1 cup freshly grated Monterey Jack cheese

  • 1 cup freshly grated sharp cheddar cheese

  • 1 large egg

  • 1 tablespoon water

  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder (optional)

  • ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning (optional)

  • 2 tablespoons freshly chopped parsley (for garnish)

  • Dipping sauces (marinara, ranch, etc.)

Notes 📝💡

  • For best results, crumble sausage finely for easier dough wrapping.

  • If browning too fast, loosely cover with foil near the end.

  • Try variations: Mexican (chorizo + pepper jack + salsa) or Italian (mozzarella + Parmesan + Italian sausage).

  • Best served fresh, but leftovers keep up to 2 days in the fridge. Reheat at 325°F.
