Breakfast Pigs in a Blanket with Cinnamon Sausage
Ingredients:
1 package (8 oz) breakfast sausage links (pork-free or turkey sausage if preferred)
1 sheet puff pastry or crescent roll dough, thawed
2 tbsp brown sugar
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Maple syrup or honey, for serving (optional)
Directions:
Preheat Oven:
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Prepare the Dough:
Roll out puff pastry or crescent roll dough on a lightly floured surface. Cut into strips wide enough to wrap around each sausage link.
Wrap the Sausages:
Roll each sausage in a strip of dough. Place on the prepared baking sheet, seam side down.
Add Cinnamon Sugar:
In a small bowl, mix brown sugar and cinnamon. Brush each wrapped sausage with beaten egg and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar.
Bake:
Bake for 15–20 minutes, until dough is golden brown and cooked through.
Serve:
Serve warm with maple syrup or honey for dipping, if desired.
Notes:
For a kid-friendly version, use mini sausages and cut dough into smaller strips.
Can also brush with a light glaze of melted butter and extra cinnamon sugar for extra sweetness.
