- 2 cans refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 1 cup beef bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 8 oz Brie cheese, sliced or cubed
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- Optional glaze: honey or maple syrup
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash, optional)
- 1 tablespoon water (for egg wash, optional)
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cook the beef bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy, then crumble into small pieces and set aside.
- Slice the Brie cheese into thin, even slices or small cubes.
- Unroll the crescent roll dough and arrange the triangles in a circle on the prepared baking sheet, overlapping the wider ends in the center.
- Spread a thin layer of Dijon mustard over the overlapping sections of the crescent dough.
- Distribute the Brie cheese evenly over the mustard layer, then sprinkle the crumbled beef bacon on top.
- Fold the pointed ends of each crescent triangle up and over the filling, tucking them under the wide base of the opposite triangle to form a wreath shape.
- If using, whisk the egg with water and brush it over the top of the wreath for a golden finish.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and the Brie is melted and bubbly.
- Let the wreath cool for 5-10 minutes before drizzling with optional glaze and serving.
