Pigs in a Blanket Wreath
Pigs in a Blanket Wreath is a golden, buttery holiday appetizer made by wrapping mini sausages in crescent dough and baking them into a festive wreath shape. Serve with dipping sauces for an irresistible centerpiece that's perfect for parties.
Equipment
- Baking sheet
- Parchment paper
- knife or dough cutter
- small bowl (for dip)
- pastry brush (for egg wash)
Ingredients
- 1 can crescent roll dough
- 24 mini sausages or cocktail wieners
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- optional: sesame seeds, poppy seeds, or dried herbs for topping
- fresh rosemary sprigs or herbs (for garnish)
- dipping sauce (honey mustard, ketchup, ranch, or cranberry mustard)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Separate crescent dough into triangles and cut each into 2–3 smaller strips.
- Wrap each mini sausage in one dough strip, starting at the wide end and sealing at the tip.
- Arrange the wrapped sausages in a wreath shape on the baking sheet, leaving space in the center for dip.
- Brush the dough with beaten egg. Sprinkle with toppings like sesame seeds or herbs if desired. Bake for 14–18 minutes until golden brown.
- Place dip in the center and garnish with rosemary or fresh herbs. Serve warm.
Notes
Use cold dough for easier wrapping, and don’t skip the egg wash for that classic golden finish. Decorate with fresh herbs like rosemary for a wreath look. Serve warm for the best taste and texture.
