Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough
  • 12 breakfast sausage links
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • Cooking spray (for baking sheet)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it reaches the right temperature for baking the pigs in a blanket evenly.
  2. Prepare Baking Sheet: Spray a large baking sheet with cooking spray to prevent the rolls from sticking during baking.
  3. Unroll Dough: Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into individual triangles according to the pre-scored lines on the dough.
  4. Assemble Rolls: Place one breakfast sausage link at the wide end of each crescent triangle and sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the sausage.
  5. Roll Up: Roll the dough tightly around each sausage, starting from the wide end and tucking in the ends to seal the cheese and sausage inside.
  6. Bake: Arrange the rolled pigs in a blanket on the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the dough is golden brown and cooked through.
  7. Serve: Remove from the oven and serve warm with your favorite dipping sauces like ketchup or mustard.

Notes

  • You can substitute cheddar cheese with other types like mozzarella or pepper jack for different flavor variations.
  • Try using spicy breakfast sausages for an extra kick.
  • Ensure the dough is sealed well at the seams to prevent cheese from leaking out while baking.
  • These can be made ahead and frozen, then baked directly from frozen by adding a few extra minutes to the baking time.
  • Serve with assorted dipping sauces such as honey mustard, barbecue sauce, or ranch dressing for variety.
