About 25 minutes

About 15 minutes

1Preheat oven to 425°F. Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray.
2Form dough into a 15x10 in. rectangle on greased baking sheet. Place a large skillet over medium heat. Add oil.
3When hot, add onion and sausage, cook 9 minutes or until lightly browned, stirring occasionally. Add eggs, cook another 1 1/2 minutes or until eggs are set. Set aside off heat.

4Spread a layer of Monterey Jack, eggs, cheddar and jalapeno peppers lengthwise down the center of the dough, leaving a 2 1/2 in. border on both sides.

5Make 2 inch angled slits, 1 inch apart along both sides of the dough. Gently pull strips over the filling, crossing over each other.
6When done, the dough will look braided. Use a pastry brush to brush the top with the egg white.
7Bake 15 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Let cool 5 minutes, then slice.
