Breakfast Pigs in a Blanket are a fun and delicious twist on the classic version, perfect for a quick breakfast or brunch. They combine savory breakfast sausage with a soft, buttery crescent roll for a sweet and savory bite!
Ingredients:
1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough
8 breakfast sausages (precooked or fully cooked)
2 tbsp maple syrup or honey (optional, for brushing)
1 tbsp melted butter (optional, for brushing)
Syrup for dipping (optional)
Instructions:
Prepare the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
Prepare the Sausages:
If using raw breakfast sausages, cook them according to package instructions until fully cooked. Let them cool slightly.
Roll the Pigs in a Blanket:
Open the crescent roll dough and separate it into 8 triangles.
Place one sausage at the wide end of each triangle and roll it up toward the narrow end. Tuck in the ends if necessary.
Add Optional Glaze:
For extra sweetness, brush the rolled sausages with a mixture of melted butter and maple syrup or honey. This adds a glossy finish and a touch of sweetness.
Bake:
Place the pigs in a blanket on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between them.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crescent rolls are golden brown and fully cooked.
Serve:
Let them cool slightly before serving. You can serve them as is or with syrup for dipping on the side.
Variations:
Cheesy Pigs in a Blanket: Add a small slice of cheese (like cheddar) on the sausage before rolling it up for a gooey surprise.
Everything Bagel Seasoning: Before baking, sprinkle everything bagel seasoning on top for an extra layer of flavor.
These Breakfast Pigs in a Blanket are a fantastic combination of sweet, savory, and flaky goodness—a perfect way to start your day!
