📝 Preparation Steps
1
Preheat the oven to 375ºF. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2
Unroll the tubes of crescent roll dough on a lightly floured work surface. (If using crescent roll triangles, pinch the perforated seams together.) Use a rolling pin to roll each sheet into a rectangle measuring about 7 ½ by 12 ½ inches. Use a sharp knife or pastry cutter to cut each sheet of dough into 15 squares (2 ½ inches each): To do this, cut 3 long strips from the short side (7 ½ by 2 ½ inches each), then cut each strip crosswise into 5 pieces.
3
Place a frank diagonally in the center of each square and top it with a pickled jalapeño slice. Fold two opposite corners over the frank so they overlap, pressing gently to secure. Leave the ends of the frank peeking out. Repeat with all the franks.

Arrange 7 wrapped franks with their pointed ends touching to resemble a starburst in the center of the prepared baking sheet. Arrange the remaining wrapped franks in a large circle around the star; it is okay if they touch a little bit. Brush with the beaten egg, and sprinkle with the cheddar cheese.

Bake until golden brown, 18 to ⏱️ 22 minutes.

For the white queso: Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, combine the white cheddar cheese, processed cheese, milk, salt, and pepper. Cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, until the cheese is melted and the sauce is creamy, 3 to ⏱️ 5 minutes. Stir in the chopped cherry tomatoes and chopped pickled jalapeño and keep warm.

Transfer the wreath to a serving platter. Arrange the parsley inside the large circle, tucking it around the inner star. Arrange the 3 whole cherry tomatoes at the bottom of the wreath. Transfer the white queso to a serving bowl and serve with the pigs in a blanket wreath for dipping.
