Description

Holiday gatherings shine with this Pigs in a Blanket Wreath, a playful appetizer that weaves crispy pastry-wrapped sausages into a festive circle. Guests will devour this crowd-pleasing centerpiece that combines simple ingredients with irresistible comfort and cheer.


Ingredients

Scale

Main Protein:

  • 24 mini cocktail sausages

Bread/Dough:

  • 2 cans (8 ounces/226 grams each) refrigerated crescent roll dough

Garnish and Finishing Touches:

  • 1 egg (beaten)
  • 2 tablespoons sesame seeds or poppy seeds (optional)
  • Fresh rosemary sprigs (for decoration)
  • ½ cup honey mustard or your favorite dipping sauce

Instructions

  1. Transform the crescent dough by carefully separating it into triangular sections, then slice each triangle into three smaller wedges for delicate wrapping.
  2. Meticulously wrap each miniature sausage by positioning it at the wide base of a dough triangle, then gently roll towards the pointed tip, ensuring a snug and secure enclosure.
  3. Craft a circular arrangement on a parchment-lined baking sheet, positioning the wrapped sausages close together to create an interconnected wreath formation with minimal spacing between each morsel.
  4. Apply a luxurious egg wash across the surface of the assembled wreath, allowing the glaze to impart a radiant, golden sheen and enhance the visual appeal of the pastry.
  5. Optional embellishment includes sprinkling sesame or poppy seeds over the glazed surface for added texture and visual intrigue.
  6. Slide the prepared wreath into a preheated oven set at 375F (190C), allowing the pastry to transform into a golden-brown delicacy over 20-25 minutes.
  7. Once baked, extract from the oven and permit slight cooling to stabilize the structure.
  8. Elevate the presentation by adorning the wreath’s perimeter with delicate rosemary sprigs, mimicking a festive holiday garland.
  9. Position a small vessel of honey mustard or preferred dipping sauce at the wreath’s center, inviting guests to indulge in this elegant appetizer while still warm.

Notes

  • Customize dough by using gluten-free crescent roll alternatives for those with wheat sensitivities, ensuring everyone can enjoy this festive appetizer.
  • Substitute mini sausages with vegetarian cocktail sausages or plant-based protein options to create a meat-free version that’s equally delicious.
  • Experiment with different seasoning blends like everything bagel seasoning or herbs de Provence sprinkled on top to elevate the flavor profile and add unexpected depth.
  • Prepare components ahead of time by rolling sausages in dough and refrigerating before baking, making this recipe perfect for stress-free holiday entertaining or last-minute gatherings.
