Ingredients
– 1 can (8 oz) crescent dough
– 8 oz brie cheese

Instructions
Creating the Bacon Brie Crescent Wreath is straightforward. Follow these simple steps:
1. Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare the Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
3. Roll Out the Dough: Open the can of crescent dough and unroll it onto a clean surface.
4. Form the Wreath Shape: Arrange the dough in a circle on the baking sheet, overlapping the edges to form a wreath shape.
5. Add Cheese: Place the brie cheese in the center of the wreath.
6. Add Bacon: Sprinkle the crumbled bacon evenly over the brie.
7. Top with Sugar and Nuts: Spread the brown sugar and optional chopped pecans over the bacon and brie.
8. Fold Over the Dough: Take the pointed ends of the crescent dough and fold them over the filling, tucking them underneath the wreath to secure.
9. Brush with Egg Wash: Brush the top of the dough with the beaten egg for a golden finish.
10. Bake: Place the wreath in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown.
11. Garnish: Once baked, remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Garnish with fresh rosemary or thyme if desired.
