Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cans of refrigerated crescent rolls
- 1 pound of Italian sausage
- 1 cup of mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1 cup of marinara sauce
- 1/2 cup of bell peppers, diced
- 1/2 teaspoon of Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Instructions
- Sauté the Filling: In a skillet, cook the Italian sausage over medium heat until browned. Stir in the marinara sauce and half of the mozzarella cheese. Mix well until combined, then remove from heat.
- Prepare the Crescent Rolls: On a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, unroll the crescent rolls. Arrange them in a rectangle, overlapping the edges slightly to create a robust base.
- Fill It Up: Spoon the sausage mixture onto the center of the crescent roll rectangle. Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese atop the filling.
- Seal the Goodness: Gently fold the edges of the crescent rolls over the filling, sealing as best as possible. Brush the top with the beaten egg.
- Bake to Perfection: Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 25 minutes, until golden brown.
- Slice and Serve: Let cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve warm.
Notes
Common pitfalls include overbaking and not sealing the edges properly. Allow to cool for a few minutes post-baking for best texture.
