📖 Introduction
If you’re looking for a breakfast that’s fun, filling, and family-approved, these Breakfast Pigs in a Blanket are it! Think golden, flaky pastry hugging juicy sausage and fluffy scrambled eggs — all in one hand-held bite. It’s a portable, protein-packed way to start your day, and it’s just as perfect for brunch tables as it is for busy weekday mornings.
This recipe takes a classic childhood favorite and gives it a breakfast-worthy twist you didn’t know you needed — until now.
🌍 Origin & Cultural Significance
Pigs in a Blanket have roots in both European and American traditions:
- In the UK, they’re often mini sausages wrapped in bacon, served with holiday dinners.
- In the US, they became popular as party snacks in the 1950s — usually hot dogs wrapped in biscuit or crescent dough.
This breakfast version is a creative modern take, showcasing the American love for all-in-one breakfast bites, especially those featuring sausage, eggs, and warm bread. It’s comfort food that feels nostalgic — but fresh.
🛒 Ingredients & Quantities
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Breakfast sausage links | 12 (pork, chicken, or turkey) |
| Large eggs | 4, lightly beaten |
| Milk | ¼ cup (for fluffy eggs) |
| Crescent roll dough | 1–2 cans (8-count each) |
| Shredded cheddar cheese | ½ cup (optional, for extra flavor) |
| Salt & pepper | To taste |
| Butter | 1 tbsp (for scrambling eggs) |
➕ Optional Additions
- Maple syrup drizzle – for sweet-savory flavor
- Chopped chives or green onions – for freshness
- Everything bagel seasoning – sprinkle before baking
- Spicy sausage – for a little heat
- Sautéed peppers or onions – mixed into the eggs
- Puff pastry – for a flakier version instead of crescent rolls
💡 Tips for Success
- Pre-cook the sausage fully before wrapping — ensures no raw bites.
- Let eggs cool slightly before assembling to avoid soggy dough.
- Don’t overfill with eggs or cheese — a little goes a long way.
- Seal the dough well around the filling so nothing leaks during baking.
- Use parchment paper to prevent sticking and for easier cleanup.
- Make-ahead tip: Assemble and refrigerate overnight. Bake fresh in the morning!
👨🍳 Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cook sausage links in a skillet until browned and fully cooked. Set aside.
- In the same pan, melt 1 tbsp butter. Whisk eggs with milk, salt, and pepper.
- Scramble eggs until just set (they’ll finish in the oven). Let cool slightly.
- Open crescent dough and separate into triangles.
- Add a small scoop of eggs, a sprinkle of cheese (optional), and one sausage to the wide end of each triangle.
- Roll up from wide end to tip, tucking ends as needed.
- Place on baking sheet and bake for 12–15 minutes or until golden brown.
- Let cool for 2–3 minutes, then serve warm — maybe with a side of maple syrup!
