“Everything” Pigs in a Blanket Wreath

Is it even a party without pigs in a blanket? I think not! But today, we’re taking this beloved, nostalgic appetizer and giving it a seriously festive and flavorful upgrade. Forget those basic crescent roll versions – we’re making an “Everything” Pigs in a Blanket Wreath using flaky puff pastry, and serving it with the most addictive spicy maple mustard dip.

This isn’t just a recipe; it’s a centerpiece! Arranging the little pastry-wrapped sausages in a wreath shape makes them instantly holiday-ready. But the real magic comes from ditching the plain dough for buttery, flaky puff pastry and giving it a generous “sprinkle” of our 5-Minute Everything Bagel Spice before baking. That savory, garlicky, oniony crunch is an absolute game-changer. Trust me, these will be the first things to disappear from your appetizer table.

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

• Festive & Fun Presentation: The wreath shape is so beautiful and perfect for holiday gatherings.
• Flaky Puff Pastry Upgrade: Using puff pastry instead of crescent dough makes these taste infinitely more special and delicious.
• That “Everything” Sprinkle! The savory crunch of Everything Bagel Spice is the perfect complement to the rich sausage and buttery pastry.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Let’s make the ultimate party appetizer. Here’s how simple it is.First, let’s gather our easy, high-impact ingredients. We’re leaning on store-bought shortcuts here!

Next, wrap ’em up! We’ll cut our puff pastry into strips and wrap each little sausage snugly in its flaky blanket.

Now, arrange your wreath. On a parchment-lined baking sheet, arrange the wrapped sausages in a circle, seam-side down, making sure they’re snuggled up close to each other.

Finally, brush and sprinkle! A quick brush with egg wash gives them that beautiful golden shine. Then comes the most important part: a generous “sprinkle” of Everything Bagel Spice all over the top.

Bake until puffed, golden, and irresistible! While they bake, whisk together your quick dipping sauce.

Ava’s Notes

• Thaw Your Pastry: Make sure your puff pastry is thawed but still cold! If it gets too warm, it becomes difficult to work with. Follow the package directions for thawing.
• Use Mini Sausages: Cocktail-sized smoked sausages (like Lil’ Smokies) are the perfect size for this recipe.
• Don’t Overcrowd: Arrange the wrapped sausages so they are just touching. This helps them bake together into a cohesive wreath but still allows the pastry to puff up nicely.

Ingredients

• 1 sheet (from a 17.3 oz box) frozen puff pastry, thawed

• 14 oz package cocktail-sized smoked sausages (like Lil’ Smokies), patted dry

• 1 large egg, beaten with 1 tbsp water (for egg wash)

• 2 tbsp Everything Bagel Spice blend

• For the Spicy Maple Mustard:

• 1/4 c Dijon mustard

• 2 tbsp pure maple syrup

• 1 tsp sriracha or hot sauce (or to taste)

Directions

• Prep: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Cut Pastry: Lightly flour your work surface. Gently unfold the thawed puff pastry sheet. Use a rolling pin to smooth out any creases. Cut the pastry lengthwise into thin strips, about 1/2-inch wide.
• Wrap Sausages: Take one strip of puff pastry and wrap it snugly around one cocktail sausage, slightly overlapping the pastry as you go. Pinch the seam to seal. Repeat with the remaining sausages and pastry strips (you may have some pastry leftover).
• Assemble Wreath: Arrange the wrapped sausages, seam-side down, in a circle on the prepared baking sheet, placing them right next to each other so they are touching. Leave an open space in the center of the circle (about 4-5 inches wide).
• Brush and Sprinkle: Brush the tops and sides of the puff pastry evenly with the prepared egg wash. Generously sprinkle the Everything Bagel Spice blend all over the top of the wreath.
• Bake: Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until the puff pastry is deeply golden brown, puffed, and cooked through.
• Make Dip: While the wreath bakes, whisk together the Dijon mustard, maple syrup, and sriracha in a small bowl.
• Serve: Let the wreath cool on the baking sheet for 5-10 minutes. Carefully transfer it to a serving platter. Place the small bowl of dipping sauce in the center of the wreath. Serve warm.
