Ingredients
Scale
- 1 roll of crescent roll dough
- Miniature sausages or little smokies (quantity based on preference)
- 2 Tablespoons Melted butter
- 1 Teaspoon Parmesan cheese (grated)

- Preheat your oven to the temperature specified on the crescent roll dough package (typically around 325°F).
- Unroll the crescent roll dough and cut it into strips using a pizza cutter. Aim for even-sized strips for uniform pigs in a blanket.

- Arrange the rolled pigs in a circle shape on a baking sheet, creating a wreath pattern.
- Bake in the preheated oven for the time specified on the crescent roll dough package. Ensure the crescent rolls are cooked through.
- Once baked, transfer the wreath to a festive plate.
- In a bowl, mix melted butter with grated Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, pepper, and salt.
- Brush the melted butter mixture over the warm pigs in a blanket wreath for added flavor and appeal.
- Serve warm and watch your festive creation disappear like hotcakes at your holiday gathering!
