Ingredients
1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough
1 lb ground sausage (mild or spicy, depending on your preference)
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional for added heat)
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Sausage Filling
In a medium skillet, cook the ground sausage over medium heat until it’s browned and fully cooked. Break it apart with a spatula while cooking to ensure even browning.
Once cooked, drain any excess grease from the skillet. Set the sausage aside to cool for a few minutes.
Step 2: Roll Out the Crescent Dough
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
On a clean surface, unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into individual triangles. Arrange the triangles in a circular shape on a parchment-lined baking sheet, with the pointed ends facing outwards, creating a “sun” shape.
Slightly overlap each triangle to ensure there are no gaps in the ring base.
Step 3: Assemble the Crescent Ring
Sprinkle half of the shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheese over the wide ends of the crescent dough.
Spoon the cooked sausage evenly over the cheese layer.
Add the remaining cheese on top of the sausage.
Fold the pointed ends of the crescent dough over the filling, tucking them under the center of the ring to secure the filling.
