Recipe by Amelia Meaux - Crowley, Louisiana

Ingredients

• 1 pound pork sausage
• 1 cup chopped green onions
• 1/4 cup italian parsley, chopped fine
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1 package cream cheese, cubed
• 1 package refrigerated crescent rolls
• 1 medium egg white, lightly beaten

Directions

In a skillet, cook sausage until meat is no longer pink; drain. Add cream cheese, green onion, parsley, and garlic. Cook over low heat, stirring, until cheese is melted. Set aside.

Unroll crescent dough on a greased baking sheet; press perforations together. Roll into a 12-inch 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 inches into center. Starting at one end, fold alternating strips at an angle, forming a braid. Brush dough with egg white. Bake at 350 F for

20-30 minutes or until golden brown.
