Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground breakfast sausage
- 5 Large eggs
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 packages Crescent roll dough sheets
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons Butter, melted
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium skillet, cook the ground breakfast sausage over medium heat until browned and fully cooked. Drain any excess grease and set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together 4 eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper.
Pour the egg mixture into a non-stick skillet over medium heat and scramble until just set but still soft. Remove from heat and set aside.
On the prepared baking sheet, roll out one package of crescent roll dough into a large rectangle. Seal any perforations.
Spread half of the cooked sausage down the center of the dough (leaving a 2-3 inch border on either side), followed by half of the scrambled eggs, and then sprinkle half of the shredded cheddar cheese on top.
Using a sharp knife, cut horizontal strips, about 1 inch wide, along the two long edges of the dough. The strips should extend towards the fillings but not touch them.
Cross the dough strips diagonally over the filling, alternating sides, to create a braided appearance.
Repeat the same process with the second package of crescent roll dough and the remaining sausage, eggs, and cheese to form a second braid.
Brush the tops of both braids with melted butter and transfer to the preheated oven.
Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and fully cooked.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped parsley before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
