Ingredients

12 ounces bulk pork sausage
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/4 cup chopped celery
1/4 cup chopped green pepper
1 garlic clove, minced
1 package (3 ounces) cream cheese, cubed
2 tablespoons chopped green onion tops
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley

In a large skillet, cook the sausage, onion, celery, green pepper and garlic until meat is no longer pink and vegetables are tender; drain. Add cream cheese, green onion and parsley. Cook and stir over low heat until cheese is melted; set aside.

On each long side, cut 3/4-in.-wide strips 3 in. into center. Starting at one end, fold alternately strips at an angle, forming a braid.
Brush dough with egg. Bake at 350° for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Refrigerate leftovers. Yield: 8-10 servings.

This is simply delicious, easy and pretty to serve. Using the store-bought rolls makes this a quick dish to prepare and the braid is easy to make. It looks like it was prepared in a bakery when it's done! EXCELLENT!

This is an excellent recipe. I make it for my family for breakfast and my husband absolutely loves it! The cream cheese gives it a rich wonderful flavor.
