Breakfast Pigs in a Blanket

These Breakfast Pigs in a Blanket make the best breakfast for busy mornings and can be enjoyed on the go. Made with sausage, crescent rolls, and rolled in cinnamon sugar they are sure to be a new family favorite. 

Getting a good breakfast in before work or school sometimes is very tough. When you are a family on the go, or even a family that works from home and homeschools the business of the morning can get the best of us.

These Breakfast Pigs in a Blanket are a great make ahead breakfast you can eat on the run or sit down and have a few.

I love to make these Pigs in a Blanket on the weekend or in the evening one night. I package them up and keep them in the fridge. Grab a couple in the morning and microwave them up for a good and filling breakfast.

How to make Breakfast Pigs in a Blanket:

Start by mixing your cinnamon and sugar together and then placing the mixture on a plate. Roll your crescent roll dough around one of the sausage links. Roll the crescent rolls in the cinnamon sugar mixture.

Place on a baking sheet and then bake. If serving when they are done, serve with some maple syrup for dipping.

If you plan on storing them for another day allow the pigs in a blanket to fully cool before putting them in a container or Ziplock bag.

Ingredient Notes:

• Fully Cooked Sausage Links
• Crescent Rolls
• Sugar
• Ground Cinnamon

Directions:

Step One – Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Prepare a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.

Step Two – Mix cinnamon and sugar and place on a plate.

Step Three – Wrap a crescent roll around each sausage link. Then roll in cinnamon sugar and place onto the prepare baking sheet.

• Tip: Use already cooked sausage links. Microwave sausages would work fine.

Step Four – Bake for 9-12 minutes until crescent rolls are golden and puffy. Serve and enjoy.

How to store these Breakfast Pigs in a Blanket:

Sausages wrapped in crescent rolls once cooked must be fully cooled before storing them.

Any moisture will cause the crescent rolls to get soggy, so if the crescent roll sausages have any warmth they will create condensation in the refrigerator.

These should last about 5 days in the refrigerator.

Can you freeze these pigs in a blanket?

I honestly do not recommend freezing these. The freezer will more than likely cause the crescent rolls to get soggy once you thaw them out to eat them.

This is such a quick and easy breakfast you can always cook the sausage the day before if you want to do some prep.
