Description

These Breakfast Pigs in a Blanket combine the sweet warmth of cinnamon rolls with savory sausage links, wrapped and baked to golden perfection. Finished with a luscious maple glaze, they make a delightful and portable breakfast or brunch treat that’s quick to prepare and perfect for gatherings or meal prep.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Pigs in a Blanket

  • 1 can refrigerated cinnamon rolls (5 rolls, unrolled)
  • 15 to 20 sausage links (regular or turkey, pre-cooked preferred)

For the Maple Glaze

  • 4 tablespoons Challenge Butter
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1 cup powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Heat your oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  2. Cut the Dough: Unroll each cinnamon roll and cut each into 3 or 4 equal pieces, depending on how many sausage links you have and desired yield.
  3. Wrap Sausage Links: Take one piece of cinnamon roll dough and wrap it tightly around a single sausage link, ensuring it is sealed well, then place it on the prepared baking sheet.
  4. Bake: Bake the wrapped sausages for 20 to 25 minutes or until the cinnamon roll dough is golden brown and cooked through.
  5. Prepare Maple Glaze: While the pigs in a blanket bake, melt the butter in a small bowl, then whisk in maple syrup. Gradually add powdered sugar, mixing until smooth and lump-free.
  6. Glaze and Serve: After baking, drizzle the maple glaze evenly over the pigs in a blanket. Serve warm as a sweet and savory breakfast treat.

Notes

  • For easier prep, use pre-cooked sausage links to ensure thorough cooking without overbaking the dough.
  • Cutting the cinnamon rolls into 4 pieces increases the number of servings but produces smaller bites.
  • The maple glaze adds a delightful balance of sweetness that complements the salty sausage; don’t omit it for best flavor.
  • These make excellent make-ahead snacks and can be reheated gently in the oven before serving.
