Sausage Brunch Braid

In a skillet, cook sausage, onion, celery, green pepper and garlic until meat is no longer pink and the vegetables are tender; drain. Add cream cheese, green onion and parsley. Cook and stir over low heat until cheese is melted; set aside. Unroll crescent dough on a greased baking sheet; press perforations together. Roll into a 12 x 10 inch rectangle. Spoon sausage mixture to within 3“ of long sides and 1” of ends. On each long side, cut ¾“ wide strips 3” into the center. Starting at one end, fold alternating strips at an angle, forming a braid. Brush dough with egg. Bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Refrigerate leftovers.
