Preparation

Step 1

In a large skillet, cook the sausage, onion, celery, bell pepper, and garlic until meat is no longer pink and vegetables are tender; drain. Add cream cheese, green onion and parsley. Cook and stir over low heat until cheese is melted; set aside. Unroll crescent dough on a greased baking sheet; seal perforations. Roll into a 12" x 10" rectangle. Spoon sausage mixture to within 3 inches of long sides and 1 inch of ends. On each long side, cut 3/4 inch wide strips 3 inch into center. Starting at one end, fold alternately strips at any angle, forming a braid. Brush dough with egg. Bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
