This festive pigs in a blanket wreath is made with crescent dough, little smokies, and garlic butter for irresistible flavor. Garnish with rosemary and a sprinkle of Parmesan "snow" for a simple but show-stopping Christmas appetizer.

Ingredients
 

  • 1 (8 ounce) package crescent dough sheet or rolls
  • 1 (13 ounce) package little smokies I used beef
  • ¼ cup butter melted
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 2 Tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese optional
  • 6-8 rosemary sprigs
  • ketchup for serving

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Place your crescent dough on a cutting board. If using perferoated rolls, pinch seams together. Use a sharp knife or pizza cutter to slice the dough into ½ inch wide strips. You will need about 22-24 strips.
    1 (8 ounce) package crescent dough sheet
  • Wrap the dough around each little smokie in a spiral. Pinch the ends to seal.
    1 (13 ounce) package little smokies
  • Arrange wrapped smokies in two rows forming a circle on the baking sheet, leaving a 4-inch space in the center.
  • Mix melted butter and garlic in a small bowl. Brush over dough.
    ¼ cup butter, 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • Bake uncovered for 10 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.
  • Carefully transfer to a serving plate using the parchment for support if needed.
  • Sprinkle with parmesan while still warm. Garnish with rosemary and serve with a dip in the center of the wreath.
    2 Tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese, 6-8 rosemary sprigs, ketchup

Notes

Sausages: Lil' Smokies (beef or pork) or mini hot dogs will work.
Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge up to 4 days. Or freeze (without rosemary/Parmesan) up to 3 months. Thaw in fridge overnight. Reheat in a 325°F oven until heated through.
