This is a great appetizer for around the holidays. The red and green ingredients make it a perfect appetizer for the Christmas season! I am not ashamed to say  I got this recipe from the Betty Crocker website. It’s delicious, easy to make and very festive!

Crescent Roll Wreath Ingredients:

6 slices bacon
1/2 cup chive-and-onion cream cheese spread (from 8-oz container)
2 cans (8 oz each) Pillsbury™ refrigerated crescent dinner rolls
2 cups Green Giant Select™ frozen broccoli florets (from 14-oz bag), thawed, finely chopped and patted dry with paper towel
1/3 cup diced red bell pepper
1 egg, beaten
1 teaspoon sesame seed
Fresh rosemary, if desired

Crescent Roll Wreath Method:
Heat oven to 375°F. Cook bacon as desired until crisp. Drain on paper towel; crumble bacon and set aside.

Unroll both cans of dough; separate into 16 triangles. On ungreased large cookie sheet, arrange triangles with shortest sides toward center, overlapping in wreath shape and leaving 4-inch round circle open in center (see diagram). Crescent dough points may overlap edge of cookie sheet. Press overlapping dough to flatten.

Spread cream cheese spread on dough to within 1 inch of points.

 

In small bowl, mix crumbled bacon, broccoli and bell pepper; spoon onto widest part of dough. Pull end points of triangles over broccoli mixture and tuck under dough to form ring (filling will be visible).

Carefully brush dough with beaten egg; sprinkle with sesame seed.
Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until deep golden brown. Cool 5 minutes.

With broad spatula, carefully loosen wreath from cookie sheet; slide onto serving platter. Garnish with fresh rosemary (if desired). Serve warm.

Store leftovers in refrigerator.
