🥞 Breakfast Pigs in a Blanket

Ingredients

• 1 can refrigerated crescent roll dough (or homemade biscuit dough)
• 8 breakfast sausages (pork, chicken, or turkey)
• 2 large eggs, scrambled softly
• ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese (or mozzarella)
• 2 tbsp butter, melted (for brushing)
• Maple syrup, for dipping

Instructions

1. Cook the Sausages

   • In a skillet, cook breakfast sausages until browned and cooked through. Set aside.

2. Scramble the Eggs

   • Lightly beat eggs, season with salt & pepper.
   • Cook gently until just set (they should be soft, not dry).

3. Assemble

   • Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
   • Unroll crescent dough and separate into triangles.
   • Place a spoonful of scrambled eggs at the wide end, sprinkle with cheese, and add a sausage.
   • Roll up tightly into a “blanket.”

4. Bake

   • Place on a lined baking sheet.
   • Brush with melted butter.
   • Bake 12–15 minutes, until golden brown.

5. Serve

   • Enjoy warm with maple syrup or honey mustard for dipping.

✨ Variation ideas:

• Wrap with pancakes instead of crescent dough for a more “breakfast-y” style.
• Add a slice of bacon or ham inside for extra flavor.
• Sprinkle sesame or poppy seeds on top before baking.

Would you like me to also give you a sweet pancake-style version (sausages wrapped in mini pancakes) that’s dipped in syrup like corn dogs?
