The spiral slices of egg and sausage in a flaky crust are almost too pretty to eat--but dig in! This breakfast ring is not to be missed.

Ingredients

1/2 lb bulk pork sausage
1/3 cup sliced green onions
1/3 cup chopped red bell pepper
5 eggs
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1 package (3 oz) cream cheese, softened
2 cans (8 oz each) Pillsbury™ refrigerated Crescent Dough Sheet
1/2 cup shredded Cheddar-Monterey Jack cheese blend (2 oz)
1 egg, beaten
1 teaspoon sesame seed

Directions

1

Heat oven to 375°F. Spray large cookie sheet with cooking spray. In 10-inch nonstick skillet, cook sausage and onions over medium-high heat 5 to 8 minutes or until thoroughly cooked; drain. Stir in bell pepper; cook until tender. Remove from pan.
2

In small bowl, beat 5 eggs, salt and pepper. Add egg mixture to skillet; cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally from outside edge to center. Cook until eggs are set but still moist. Stir in sausage mixture and cream cheese.
3

Unroll both cans of dough. Place dough on cookie sheet, long sides overlapping, to form 14x13-inch rectangle; firmly press edges to seal. Spoon egg mixture down center to within 1/2 inch of edges. Sprinkle with cheese. Starting at longest side, roll up; press edges to seal. Shape into a circle; pinch ends to seal. Cut six 2-inch slits around top of dough. Brush dough with egg; sprinkle with sesame seed.
4

Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until deep golden brown.

Try a different shredded cheese, such as sharp Cheddar or pepper Jack, to vary the flavors in this dish.
