A delicious and easy-to-make Stuffed Croissant Lasagna Ring that combines the flavors of lasagna with the flaky goodness of croissants.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cans refrigerated croissant dough (crescent rolls)
- 2 tbsp butter (melted, for brushing)
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1 lb ground beef (or Italian sausage)
- 1 small onion (diced)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 cup marinara sauce
- ½ tsp red pepper flakes (optional, for spice)
- Salt & black pepper, to taste
- 1 cup ricotta cheese (or cottage cheese)
- 1 egg (beaten, to bind)
- 1 tsp parsley (chopped)
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Fresh parsley or basil (for garnish)
- Extra marinara sauce (for dipping)
Instructions
- In a skillet, cook ground beef with onion until browned.
- Add garlic, marinara sauce, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 5 minutes.
- In a bowl, mix ricotta, egg, parsley, and Parmesan until creamy.
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Arrange crescent dough triangles in a circle on a greased bundt pan or baking sheet, points facing outward and overlapping slightly to form a ring.
- Spread a layer of the ricotta mixture onto the dough ring.
- Spoon beef mixture on top.
- Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese.
- Fold dough tips over the filling, tucking them underneath to seal the ring.
- Brush with melted butter, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning.
- Bake for 25–30 minutes, until golden brown and bubbly.
- Sprinkle with more mozzarella and broil for 2–3 minutes for a gooey topping.
- Let cool slightly, then slice into wedges.
- Serve with warm marinara dipping sauce.
Notes
- Feel free to substitute ground beef with Italian sausage for a different flavor.
- For a vegetarian option, use sautéed vegetables instead of meat.
- Make sure to seal the dough well to prevent the filling from leaking out during baking.
