Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

1 tube refrigerated crescent rolls
24 mini hot dogs
1/4 cup Dijon mustard
1 egg (for egg wash)
2 teaspoons poppy seeds
Salt, to taste

For Garnish and Serving

Rosemary sprigs (for decoration)
Ketchup, for serving

Instructions

Preheat and prepare baking sheet: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a large baking pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
Prepare crescent rolls and wrap hot dogs: Slice the refrigerated crescent roll dough lengthwise into thirds to create thinner strips. Brush each strip all over with Dijon mustard to add tang and flavor. Place a mini hot dog at the thick end of each strip and roll it up tightly into a pig in a blanket.
Arrange wreath on baking sheet: Place the wrapped mini hot dogs side by side in a circle on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are touching to form a continuous wreath ring.
Apply egg wash and season: Brush the entire wreath with beaten egg wash to achieve a glossy, golden finish when baked. Sprinkle with salt and poppy seeds evenly over the top for a nice crunch and a hint of flavor.
Bake the wreath: Bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes until the crescent dough is golden brown and fully cooked through.
Cool and garnish: Allow the baked wreath to cool for at least 20 minutes so it holds its shape. Decorate around the inside of the wreath with rosemary sprigs for an aromatic, festive touch. Place a small bowl of ketchup in the center of the wreath for dipping.

Notes

You can substitute the Dijon mustard with spicy brown mustard or honey mustard for different flavor variations.
For added flavor, sprinkle sesame seeds or everything bagel seasoning instead of poppy seeds.
To ensure even baking, keep the mini hot dogs uniformly sized.
Serve warm or at room temperature for best taste and texture.
The wreath can be assembled ahead and refrigerated; apply egg wash and poppy seeds just before baking.
