Description

This Pigs in a Blanket Wreath is a festive and creative appetizer featuring savory cocktail sausages wrapped in buttery crescent roll dough, brushed with a garlic butter mixture, and seasoned with Everything Bagel Seasoning. Baked to golden perfection and arranged in a charming wreath shape, it’s perfect for holiday parties and family gatherings.


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

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for baking the wreath.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Cut Dough: Using a pizza cutter, cut each crescent roll triangle into three long strips.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. Season Wreath: Brush the remaining garlic butter mixture over the assembled wreath and sprinkle Everything Bagel Seasoning evenly on top.
  8. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until the crescent dough is golden brown and cooked through.
  9. 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.

Notes

  • This appetizer is both savory and visually appealing, making it ideal for holiday celebrations and family gatherings.
  • Using Everything Bagel Seasoning adds a flavorful, crunchy texture and a unique spice blend to the wreath.
  • Fresh Rosemary not only adds aroma but enhances the festive presentation.
  • Adjust baking time slightly if your oven runs hotter or cooler to achieve perfect golden brown dough.
  • Serve with a variety of dipping sauces such as mustard, barbecue sauce, or cheese dip for added enjoyment.
