Ingredients
Scale
Sausages
- 8 fully cooked breakfast sausage links (thawed)
Dough & Topping
- 8 Pillsbury Cinnamon Rolls with Original Icing (8 count, regular size cinnamon rolls)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for baking the breakfast pigs in a blanket.
- Prepare cinnamon rolls: Open the cinnamon roll package and set the included frosting aside for later use.
- Wrap sausages: Slightly flatten each cinnamon roll dough, then place one thawed breakfast sausage link in the center. Carefully wrap the dough around the sausage, pinching the seams shut so the sausage peeks out slightly on each end.
- Arrange on baking sheet: Place each wrapped sausage seam side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
- Bake: Bake the rolls at 350°F for 15 to 17 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and cooked thoroughly.
- Glaze and serve: Remove the rolls from the oven and drizzle the reserved frosting over the hot baked rolls. Allow to cool slightly before serving for enhanced flavor and easy handling.
Notes
- Be sure to use the regular sized Pillsbury cinnamon rolls, not the larger Grands variety, for best results.
- Thick frosting drizzle adds sweetness that pairs beautifully with the savory sausage, but adjust the amount based on your taste preference.
- You can substitute with other pre-cooked sausage links if preferred.
- For easier wrapping, let the dough come to room temperature before flattening.
