Description

Bite-sized cocktail sausages wrapped in buttery crescent dough, perfect for parties and gatherings.


Ingredients

  • Cocktail-sized sausages (mini hot dogs or little smokies)
  • Crescent roll dough (1–2 cans)
  • Fresh garlic (minced; about 1–2 cloves)
  • Unsalted butter (melted; roughly 2–3 tablespoons)
  • Optional: Egg wash (1 beaten egg + 1 tbsp water)
  • Optional: Sesame or everything bagel seasoning for topping
  • Optional: Mustard or BBQ sauce for serving


Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven following the crescent roll package directions. Line a baking sheet with parchment or a silicone mat.
  2. Unroll the crescent dough on a clean surface and cut it into strips wide enough to wrap around each sausage.
  3. Place a cocktail sausage at the end of a strip and roll it up so the dough overlaps slightly and seals.
  4. Arrange the wrapped sausages seam-side down on the baking sheet, leaving some space between each.
  5. Melt the butter and stir in the minced garlic. Let it cool slightly, then brush it on each wrapped sausage.
  6. For added shine, brush with egg wash and sprinkle with seeds or seasoning, if desired.
  7. Bake according to the dough package instructions, typically 10–15 minutes, until golden brown. Rotate the pan halfway through for even browning.
  8. Let cool for a minute before serving hot with dipping sauces.

Notes

You can assemble ahead and bake just before serving. Great for leftovers as well!
