Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground breakfast sausage
- 5 pieces Large eggs
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 packages Crescent roll dough
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a large skillet, cook the ground breakfast sausage over medium heat, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, until browned and fully cooked. Drain excess fat and set aside to cool slightly.
In a medium bowl, whisk together 4 eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat and scramble the egg mixture until just set but still soft. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into individual triangles. Arrange the triangles in a circular ring on the prepared baking sheet, with the wider ends overlapping in the center and the points facing outward, forming a sunburst shape.
Sprinkle half of the shredded cheddar cheese over the dough near the center where the edges overlap.
Evenly distribute the cooked sausage and scrambled eggs over the cheese layer. Top with the remaining shredded cheddar cheese.
Fold the pointed ends of the crescent roll triangles over the filling and tuck them under the center edge to secure. Some filling will still be visible between the folds.
Bake the sausage ring in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the crescent dough is golden brown and fully cooked.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes. If desired, garnish with chopped fresh parsley for a festive touch.
Transfer the sausage ring to a serving plate and serve warm. Slice into individual sections for easy serving.
