Ingredients
Sausage & Dough
- 8 breakfast sausage links
- 1 can refrigerated crescent roll dough
Toppings & Seasoning
- 1 tablespoon melted butter
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon sesame seeds or everything seasoning (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
- Prepare Dough: Unroll the refrigerated crescent roll dough and carefully separate it into individual triangles along the perforated lines.
- Wrap Sausages: Place one sausage link at the wide end of each dough triangle, then roll the dough tightly around the sausage toward the pointed end, ensuring the seam side is underneath to secure the roll.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place each wrapped sausage on the prepared baking sheet with the seam side down to help the dough stay sealed during baking.
- Add Butter and Seasoning: Brush the tops of the rolls with melted butter for a golden finish. Sprinkle with garlic powder, sesame seeds, or everything seasoning if using, to add extra flavor and texture.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes or until the crescent rolls are puffed up and beautifully golden brown.
- Serve Warm: Remove from oven and serve the breakfast pigs in a blanket warm, perfect for dipping in maple syrup or honey mustard.
Notes
- Serve with maple syrup or honey mustard for a delicious dipping option.
- For extra flavor and richness, add a slice of cheese on the sausage before rolling.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, then reheat before serving.
