How to Make Sausage Braid
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large skillet, cook the sausage over medium heat until browned, breaking it up with a spoon. Drain off any excess grease.
- Add the chopped onion, celery, green bell pepper, and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook until the vegetables are tender, about 5-7 minutes.
- Stir in the softened cream cheese, chopped green onions, and parsley. Cook and stir over low heat until the cream cheese is melted and the mixture is well combined.
- Set the sausage mixture aside to cool slightly.
- Unroll the crescent roll dough onto a lightly greased baking sheet. Gently press the perforations together to form a large rectangle.
- Spread the cooled sausage mixture evenly over the dough, leaving a 3-inch border on the long sides and a 1-inch border on the short ends.
- Cut 3/4-inch wide strips along each long side of the dough.
- Starting at one end, fold alternating strips over the filling to create a braid. Tuck the ends of the braid under.
- Brush the top of the braid with the beaten egg.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and the filling is heated through.
