Ingredients

• 1 can (8 ounces) Refrigerated crescent roll dough
• 8 pieces Breakfast sausage links
• 1 large Egg
• 1 tablespoon Water
• 0.25 cup Maple syrup
• 2 tablespoons Butter (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausages until browned and fully cooked, about 8-10 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly.

Step 3

Open the can of crescent roll dough and separate it into 8 triangles along the perforations.

Step 4

Place one cooked sausage link at the wide base of each triangle and roll it up tightly toward the tip of the triangle.

Step 5

Place the wrapped sausages seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet, spaced evenly apart.

Step 6

In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to make an egg wash.

Step 7

Brush the egg wash lightly over the top of each crescent roll to give it a golden, glossy finish as it bakes.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the crescent roll dough is golden brown and fully cooked.

Step 9

While baking, gently warm the maple syrup in a small saucepan or microwave-safe dish for serving.

Step 10

Once baked, remove the pigs in a blanket from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 2-3 minutes.

Step 11

Serve warm with a drizzle of maple syrup and a pat of butter on the side, if desired. Enjoy your breakfast brunch twist on a classic favorite!
