How to Make Sausage Brunch Braid

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large skillet, cook sausage, onion, celery, green pepper, and garlic over medium heat until the sausage is no longer pink and the vegetables are tender (about 8-10 minutes). Drain any excess grease.
  3. Stir in softened cream cheese, green onions, and parsley until the cream cheese is melted and the mixture is well combined.
  4. Set the sausage mixture aside to cool slightly.
  5. Unroll the crescent dough onto a lightly greased baking sheet. Gently press the perforations together to form a large rectangle.
  6. Spread the sausage mixture evenly over the center of the dough, leaving a 3-inch border on the sides and a 1-inch border on the ends.
  7. Cut 3/4-inch wide strips on each long side of the dough rectangle.
  8. Starting from one end, weave the strips together, alternating sides to create a braid. Tuck the ends underneath.
  9. Brush the top of the braid with the beaten egg.
  10. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and the filling is heated through.
