Delicious Breakfast Pigs in a Blanket Recipe

Make Breakfast Pigs in a Blanket with clear steps, pantry staples, and flexible swaps.

Ingredients

  • 1 can 8 oz refrigerated crescent roll dough
  • 8 breakfast sausages links or patties
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 egg beaten (for egg wash)
  • Cooking spray for greasing

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking sheet with cooking spray.
  • In a small bowl, mix the Dijon mustard, maple syrup, and garlic powder until well combined.
  • Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into individual triangles.
  • Spread a thin layer of the mustard mixture on each triangle of dough.
  • Place one breakfast sausage at the wide end of each triangle, then sprinkle a small amount of shredded cheddar cheese over the sausage.
  • Roll the dough tightly around the sausage, starting from the wide end and moving to the pointed end. Ensure the cheese is tucked inside.
  • Place the rolled sausages seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Brush the tops of each rolled sausage with the beaten egg to give them a golden color when baked.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the dough is golden brown and cooked through.
  • Allow to cool slightly before serving. These can be enjoyed warm or at room temperature.
