Ingredients

Scale

Wrapped Hot Dogs

  • 1 tube refrigerated crescent rolls
  • 24 mini hot dogs
  • 1/4 cup Dijon mustard

Toppings and Garnish

  • Egg wash (1 egg beaten with 1 tablespoon water)
  • 2 tsp. poppy seeds
  • Rosemary sprigs (for decoration)

For Serving

  • Ketchup, as desired

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 375° F and line a large baking pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking and for easy cleanup.
  2. Prepare Crescent Rolls: Slice the refrigerated crescent rolls lengthwise into thirds to create smaller triangles. Brush each triangle thoroughly with Dijon mustard to add a tangy flavor beneath the dough.
  3. Wrap Hot Dogs: Place a mini hot dog on the thick end of each crescent triangle, then carefully roll it up toward the pointed end, encasing the hot dog in the dough.
  4. Form the Wreath: Arrange the wrapped mini hot dogs side by side in a circle on the baking pan so the edges just touch, forming a wreath shape.
  5. Apply Egg Wash and Toppings: Brush the entire wreath with beaten egg wash to help achieve a beautiful golden color during baking. Sprinkle evenly with salt and poppy seeds for added texture and flavor.
  6. Bake: Place the wreath in the preheated oven and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the crescent dough turns golden brown and cooked through.
  7. Cool and Garnish: Allow the wreath to cool for at least 20 minutes to set. Then, lay fresh rosemary sprigs around the inside of the wreath for an aromatic and decorative touch.
  8. Serve: Place the wreath on a serving platter and provide ketchup on the side for dipping. Enjoy this savory, festive appetizer warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • You can substitute Dijon mustard with yellow mustard or spicy brown mustard depending on your taste preference.
  • For a gluten-free option, use gluten-free crescent roll dough.
  • Make sure to cool the wreath before adding rosemary to prevent wilting.
