These Breakfast Pigs in a Blanket combine savory breakfast sausage wrapped in flaky crescent roll dough for a fun and easy morning treat. They’re perfect for busy mornings, brunch, or even meal prep. Enjoy them with a drizzle of maple syrup or your favorite dipping sauce!
Prep : 10 Total : 25 minutes
Ingredients
- 1 8 oz / 0.5 lb can crescent roll dough
- 8 breakfast sausages precooked or fully cooked
- ¼ cup 0.06 lb shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
- 1 tablespoon 0.05 lb melted butter
- 1 teaspoon maple syrup optional, for brushing
Optional Toppings and Dips:
- Maple syrup for dipping
- Honey mustard
- Powdered sugar for a sweet twist
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2: Prepare the Crescent Dough
- Unroll the crescent dough and separate it into 8 triangles along the perforations.
Step 3: Assemble the Pigs in a Blanket
- Place a sausage at the wide end of each dough triangle.
- Sprinkle a bit of shredded cheddar cheese over the sausage, if desired.
- Roll the dough around the sausage, starting from the wide end and rolling toward the point. Place seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 4: Brush with Butter
- Brush the tops of the rolled dough with melted butter. For a touch of sweetness, stir a teaspoon of maple syrup into the melted butter before brushing.
Step 5: Bake the Pigs in a Blanket
- Bake for 12–15 minutes or until the crescent rolls are golden brown and puffed.
Step 6: Serve and Enjoy
- Serve warm with maple syrup or your favorite dipping sauce on the side.
Notes
- Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer to maintain crispiness.
- Variations: Use bacon or ham instead of sausage for variety.
- Make it Sweeter: Dust with powdered sugar and serve with syrup for a sweet-savory combo.
- Serving Idea: Pair with scrambled eggs and fruit for a complete breakfast.
