Ingredients
  

For the Dough
  • 1 roll Crescent Roll Dough Look for low-fat options if desired.
For the Filling
  • 1 lb Sausage Choose spicy or mild based on taste.
  • 1 cup Cheddar Cheese Feel free to experiment with pepper jack.
  • 8 oz Cream Cheese Substitute with Greek yogurt for a lighter option.
  • 2 tbsp Green Onions Use chives if you prefer a milder taste.
For the Topping
  • 2 tbsp Sesame Seeds Sprinkle generously for added crunch.
  • 1 tbsp Italian Seasoning Adjust to taste or swap for your favorite herb blend.

Equipment

  • Skillet
  • baking sheet
  • Parchment Paper
  • Oven

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Start by browning the sausage in a skillet over medium heat, breaking it apart with a spoon until fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Add green onions and sauté for an additional 2 minutes. Transfer to a bowl, then mix in cream cheese and cheddar cheese until creamy.
  2. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Unroll the crescent roll dough onto a floured surface, separate the triangles, and arrange in a circular pattern on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  3. Spoon the filling evenly over the overlapping edges of the crescent dough, leaving a gap at the ends. Fold the narrow tips of the dough over the filling to secure it, forming a ring shape.
  4. Sprinkle sesame seeds and Italian seasoning over the top, then bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
  5. Allow to cool for about 5 minutes, slice into wedges and serve warm.
