Cocktail Sausage Wreath


Here is a very easy appetizer that kids can put together for you while you work on a different appetizer.  Show them how to do it once and you can tick one more thing off your to-do list. 
  • 1 can of Pillsbury Crescent Rolls (8 roll size)
  • 24 cocktail sausages 
  • 1 beaten egg
  • parsley and a bit of finely chopped red pepper for garnish
  • sriracha mayonnaise, mustard, and pickles 



Place the dough on the counter and pat together all the angled perforations. 


Cut the dough into 12 pieces.


Cut each of those pieces into a triangle. 


Roll each sausage into the dough, starting at the wide end.


Place the sausage rolls onto a greased pizza pan. 


Brush with beaten egg and place a few pieces of finely chopped red pepper on each piece.
Bake at 375 F about 20 minutes or until the sausage starts to sizzle.  


Garnish with finely chopped parsley and serve with pickles, grainy mustard, and sriracha mayonnaise.

  1. I love everything about this post, Lovella! What a fun idea to get help with from the younger set in the family. Turns out beautifully, too.

  2. Love the dip suggestions.
    Sounds like a grand kitchen time with the grands. BTW...Pillsbury now sells their crescent roll dough without perforations too.
    And I’d like to try it with a puff pastry sheet sometime.

  3. Also thinking of having the little ones use a pizza cutting wheel to cut the triangles instead of using a knife...boy grands might be a bit more into sword play than granddaughters.

    1. Both of your ideas are excellent Jill. I don't know why I didn't think of the pizza cutter. I get them to use that for other things. I'd also like to try it with puff pastry. I haven't seen non perforated crescents in Canada... hopefully they are finding their way north.

  4. Well, isn't that lovely! 2 sous-chefs to help with the baking. And a scrumptious job they did too.

  7. I love this idea...I was actually thinking about making these little sausages too but hadn't thought about in a wreath! One of my favorite snacks!
