1️⃣ Prepare the Beef Filling
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned. Add the chopped onion and garlic and cook for 2–3 minutes until softened.
Season with salt, pepper, paprika, and Italian seasoning. Stir well and cook until fully combined. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

3️⃣ Assemble the Crescent Ring
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
On a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, arrange the crescent dough triangles in a circular ring with the wide ends overlapping in the center and the pointed ends facing outward.
Spoon the beef and cheese mixture evenly around the wide ends of the dough.
Fold the pointed ends over the filling and tuck them underneath to form a ring.
4️⃣ Egg Wash & Bake
Beat the egg and brush it over the dough to give it a golden shine.
Bake for 20–25 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.

Let it cool for 5 minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm.
