Breakfast Pigs in a Blanket

I’m always on the lookout for easy recipes that can be prepped in just a few minutes and made ahead of time, and this recipe for Breakfast Pigs in a Blanket definitely fits the bill.

All you need is one can of refrigerated cinnamon rolls and sausage links. You can use regular sausage or turkey sausage. Personally, I prefer the sausage that’s already cooked because it makes the prep even easier. Then you just take a cinnamon roll, unroll it, and cut it into 3 or 4 equal parts. (Obviously you can get a higher yield if you cut it into 4 parts, but if you don’t have many sausage links, you can just cut it into 3 parts.) And then just wrap the cinnamon roll around the sausage.

After the Pigs in a Blanket finish cooking, I like to add a maple glaze on top. It’s just a few ingredients (butter, maple syrup, powdered sugar), but it makes a huge difference in taste!

And that’s it! The result is a portable treat that’s the perfect combination of a little salty and a little sweet. The yield is pretty large, so these would also be great for a tailgate or bridal shower or other brunch function with a big group of people.
