Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 can (8 ounces) Refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 8 pieces Breakfast sausage links
- 1 large Egg
- 1 tablespoon Water
- 0.25 cup Maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons Butter (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausages until browned and fully cooked, about 8-10 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly.
Open the can of crescent roll dough and separate it into 8 triangles along the perforations.
Place one cooked sausage link at the wide base of each triangle and roll it up tightly toward the tip of the triangle.
Place the wrapped sausages seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet, spaced evenly apart.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to make an egg wash.
Brush the egg wash lightly over the top of each crescent roll to give it a golden, glossy finish as it bakes.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the crescent roll dough is golden brown and fully cooked.
While baking, gently warm the maple syrup in a small saucepan or microwave-safe dish for serving.
Once baked, remove the pigs in a blanket from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 2-3 minutes.
Serve warm with a drizzle of maple syrup and a pat of butter on the side, if desired. Enjoy your breakfast brunch twist on a classic favorite!
