• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, for garnish

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. In a large skillet, cook the ground sausage over medium heat until browned and cooked through. Drain any excess grease.
3. In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked sausage, feta cheese, olive oil, dried oregano, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes. Mix well.
4. Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate into individual triangles.
5. Arrange the triangles on a baking sheet in the shape of a Christmas tree, with the wide ends overlapping slightly to form the base of the tree and the pointed ends pointing upwards.
6. Spread the sausage and feta mixture evenly over the dough triangles, leaving a small border along the edges.
7. Starting at the base of the tree, roll up each triangle towards the pointed end, enclosing the sausage and feta mixture.
8. Brush the beaten egg wash over the top of the tree.
9. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the crescent rolls are golden brown and cooked through.
10. Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly.
11. Garnish the Christmas tree with chopped fresh parsley to resemble garland.
12. Serve warm and enjoy!
