How To Make a Pigs in a blanket wreath

1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a large baking sheet or pizza pan with parchment paper. Place an oven-safe ramekin or small bowl upside down in the center of the pan.
2. Unroll crescent dough and separate into triangles. Cut each triangle lengthwise into 3 narrow strips.

3. Wrap each cocktail sausage with a strip of dough, starting at the wide end, slightly overlapping the dough as you roll.

4. Place wrapped sausages in a circular ring around the bowl. Position them snugly side-by-side so they bake into a cohesive wreath. Ensure the dough is evenly exposed for even browning.

5. Brush the dough with egg white. Sprinkle generously with everything bagel seasoning.

6. Bake for 24-28 minutes, or until golden brown and fully cooked. 
7. Carefully transfer the wreath to a serving plate, and remove the parchment paper. Fill the center bowl with a dipping sauce. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired.

expert tips

• Leave slight space between pieces. And space them as evenly as possible. This will ensure even baking.
• Use parchment paper for easy cleanup. Line the pan so nothing sticks, and when you’re done serving you can simply remove and toss in the garbage. Minimal clean-up required!
• Rotate the pan halfway through baking. This will ensure each “pig in a blanket” gets evenly golden brown.
• Serve warm for the best texture. Enjoy immediately, straight from the oven for a crispy exterior and tender inside.
• Add a dipping sauce bowl in the center. Not only is this functional for dipping, but it’s also a nice presentation. Nestle it in the center filled with your favorite sauce . We like spicy ketchup, honey-mustard, BBQ sauce, or even a cheese dip.

storage

Store any leftover pigs in a blanket in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer at 350° until warmed through.

You can freeze leftovers. Store them in an airtight container for up to 3 months. Reheat in the oven from frozen, or thaw in the fridge overnight, then bake at 350° until hot and the pastry is crisped up.

This is a great appetizer to prep in advance. Assemble the wreath ahead of time, then cover and store in the fridge. Bake right before you’re ready to serve.
