Holiday Hot Dog Wreath

Serves 8 (serving size: 4 mini hot dogs)
Active 25 min. Total 50 min.

Ingredients:

Cooking spray
2 (8-oz.) cans refrigerated crescent rolls (such as Pillsbury)
5 Tbsp. Dijon mustard, divided
4 oz. sharp Cheddar cheese, cut into 35 (1/2-in.) thin strips
1 (12-oz.) pkg. mini beef sausages (such as Hillshire Farm Lit’l Smokies)
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1 tsp. poppy seeds
1/2 tsp. kosher salt
1/3 cup mayonnaise
2 Tbsp. honey
1 Tbsp. stone-ground mustard
2 tsp. apple cider vinegar
4 oz. rosemary sprigs

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, and coat with cooking spray. Place a 7-inch round bowl face down in the center of baking sheet.

2. Unroll crescent roll dough onto a clean work surface. Tear dough at seams into 16 triangles (8 from each can). Starting at the wide end, cut each triangle lengthwise with a pizza cutter into 3 smaller triangles, forming 48 skinny triangles. Reserve 13 skinny triangles for another use.

3. Brush 3 tablespoons of the Dijon mustard over surface of triangles. Place 1 strip of cheese at the wide end of each triangle. Place 1 mini sausage on top of cheese. Starting at the wide end, roll into a crescent. Repeat with remaining dough, cheese strips, and sausages forming 35 crescents. Line 20 crescents around the edge of the bowl with 1 end of each crescent touching the bowl and each other on the sides. Carefully remove bowl from baking sheet, leaving crescents in a circle. Line remaining 15 crescents inside of large crescent ring, forming a double-ringed wreath.

4. Brush wreath with egg; sprinkle poppy seeds and salt evenly over crescents. Bake in preheated oven until puffed and golden brown, 22 to 25 minutes.

5. Meanwhile, whisk together mayonnaise, honey, stone-ground mustard, apple cider vinegar, and remaining 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard in a small bowl. Set aside.

6. Carefully transfer wreath with parchment paper to a serving platter. Carefully remove parchment from underneath wreath; discard. Place rosemary sprigs slightly underneath and around edges of wreath. Spoon mayonnaise mixture into a small serving bowl, and place in center of wreath. Serve immediately.
