Notes
Breakfast Pigs in a Blanket – Helpful Tips
Choose the Right Sausage
• Go with fully cooked breakfast sausage links for easy assembly and quick baking.
• Want to keep it lighter? Use chicken apple sausage, turkey links, or even plant-based sausages—just make sure they’re precooked. Dough Tips for the Perfect Wrap
• Use crescent roll dough, biscuit dough, or even puff pastry—all work great.
• For extra flavor, brush the dough with melted butter and a sprinkle of garlic powder or everything bagel seasoning before baking. Add a Cheesy Surprise
• Before rolling up, add a slice of cheddar, mozzarella, or American cheese with each sausage for a gooey, melty center.
• Want extra protein? Crack a scrambled egg inside each wrap for a fuller breakfast bite. Baking Tips
• Bake on a parchment-lined baking sheet at 375°F (190°C) until golden brown—usually 12–15 minutes.
• Let them cool slightly before serving so the cheese has a chance to set. Perfect For Meal Prep or On-the-Go
• These are freezer-friendly—make a batch, freeze once cooled, and reheat in the oven or air fryer for a fast breakfast anytime.
• Wrap them in foil for an on-the-go breakfast sandwich you can take with you. Dips & Toppings
• Serve with maple syrup, honey mustard, ketchup, or sriracha mayo on the side.
• Sprinkle with chopped chives, green onions, or even a dusting of powdered sugar for sweet-savory contrast. Tasty Variations to Try
• Sweet & Savory: Use maple sausage and wrap with a layer of pancake batter instead of dough.
• Spicy Kick: Add a strip of jalapeño or a dab of hot sauce inside each blanket.
• Low-Carb Version: Use low-carb tortillas, keto dough, or wrap with cheese slices and bake until crisp.
