Easy Breakfast Pigs in a Blanket Recipe

Easy Breakfast Pigs in a Blanket Recipe


  • Author: Skyar
  • Total Time: 25 minutes

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 can refrigerated crescent roll dough (or homemade dough)
  • 8 breakfast sausage links (pork or turkey)
  • 1 tablespoon butter (optional)
  • 1 large egg (for egg wash)
  • Shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or pepper jack – optional)
  • Maple syrup or honey mustard (for dipping – optional)

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Sausages

Pre-cook the sausage links in a skillet over medium heat until browned and fully cooked (usually about 5-7 minutes). Let them cool slightly before wrapping.

Step 2: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Step 3: Prepare the Dough

Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into triangles. If using homemade dough, roll it into a large rectangle and cut into strips or triangles.

Step 4: Wrap the Sausages

Place one sausage on the wide end of each dough triangle. Add a sprinkle of cheese if desired. Roll the dough around the sausage, starting at the wide end and finishing at the point.

Step 5: Brush and Bake

Place the wrapped sausages seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with beaten egg for a golden finish. Bake for 12–15 minutes or until golden brown and puffy.
