Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°.
• Unroll dough onto a baking sheet coated with cooking spray; pat into a 15 x 10-inch rectangle.
• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and sausage; cook until lightly browned. Stir in eggs; cook 1 1/2 minutes or until set. Remove from heat.
• Sprinkle Monterey Jack lengthwise down center of dough, leaving about a 2 1/2-inch border on each side. Spoon egg mixture evenly over cheese. Sprinkle cheddar over egg mixture; top with jalapeño peppers.
• Make 2-inch-long diagonal cuts about 1 inch apart on both sides of dough to within 1/2 inch of filling using a sharp knife or kitchen shears.
• Arrange strips over filling, alternating strips diagonally over filling. Press ends under to seal (Recipe #193353 has a great picture on how to do this). Spray with cooking spray.

MAPLE SAUSAGE BREAKFAST BRAID

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400*F In a large bowl combine sausage, syrup, eggs, green onions, stuffing mix and apples. Mix well with spatula and or hands and set aside. I find hands work great for this! Roll out each pastry sheet to a 16 x 12 inch rectangle on a baking mat, parchment paper or nonstick foil. Place half of the sausage mixture down the center of one of the pastry sheets. Fold up each end of pastry sheet to cover edges at each end of sausage. Slice 1 inch slits down both sides of pastry then fold up strips on top of sausage, alternating sides like a braid. Transfer braid to a cookie sheet. Repeat the above steps for second pastry sheet and braid. Bake for 30 - 40 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from oven and allow to sit for 5 minutes before cutting into slices. Drizzle with additional maple syrup and enjoy!
