Ingredients
Scale
For the Wreath:
- 1 (8 ounce) can crescent rolls
- 14 ounces cocktail sausages
For the Garlic Butter:
- 1 Tablespoon minced garlic
- ¼ cup salted butter, melted
- ¼ teaspoon salt
For Seasoning:
- 2 Tablespoons Everything Bagel Seasoning
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for baking the wreath.
- Prepare Garlic Butter: In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, minced garlic, and salt. Microwave in 15-second increments until the butter is fully melted, then stir to mix evenly.
- Prepare Crescent Dough: Unroll the crescent roll dough onto a clean surface. Use a pastry brush to evenly coat the dough with the garlic butter mixture.
- Cut Dough: Using a pizza cutter, cut each crescent roll triangle into three long strips.
- Wrap Sausages: Take one cocktail sausage and wrap a strip of dough around it, then place it on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Use a small bowl as a guide to help form the wreath shape on the sheet.
- Form Wreath: Continue wrapping each cocktail sausage with dough strips, arranging them side-by-side in a circle on the baking sheet. After the first circle, create a second inner circle ensuring the pieces are touching for a cohesive wreath.
- Season Wreath: Brush the remaining garlic butter mixture over the assembled wreath and sprinkle Everything Bagel Seasoning evenly on top.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until the crescent dough is golden brown and cooked through.
- Garnish and Serve: Optionally, tuck fresh Rosemary sprigs around the wreath for a festive look. Place a bowl of ketchup or your preferred dipping sauce in the center of the wreath and serve warm.
