    Breakfast Pigs in a Blanket: This 2 ingredient recipe is so simple and the whole family will love the breakfast version of pigs in a blanket!

    If you’re a fan of pigs in a blanket or biscuits and gravy but not a fan of making a huge breakfast, this is ideal for a quick “on-the-go” recipe. Or, you may also like this biscuits and gravy casserole for a fun twist on the classic!

    Why you’ll love these:

    Two ingredients. Two! That’s all it takes to make this easy breakfast recipe!

    Just like regular pigs in a blanket made with hot dogs, these breakfast pigs in a blanket with crescent rolls are pretty much a roll and bake dish!

    If you need something to add to a breakfast or brunch menu, you know pigs in a blanket are always a huge hit, so you’ll probably want to double or triple this recipe!

    These make ahead breakfast pigs in a blanket can be tucked in a lunch box for a “breakfast for lunch” option or reheated in the morning to get breakfast on the table quickly!

    Ingredients

    With two super simple ingredients, this quick breakfast version of pigs in a blanket recipe couldn’t be easier!

    • One 8-count tube of crescent rolls
    • 8 breakfast sausage links, cooked
    • 1 cup white gravy recipe (optional but delicious!)

    See the printable recipe card below for the ingredient list, detailed recipe, nutrition facts and recipe notes.

    Instructions

    1. First, preheat your oven to 375 degrees F and prepare a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray, parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
    2. While cooking the sausage links, unroll the crescent rolls, and break the triangles apart along the seams.

    Don’t those little guys look scrumptious? That soft golden brown crescent roll dough wrapped around a savory breakfast sausage is a pretty delicious way to wake up any day of the week!

    Substitutions & Variations

    • Now, if you’re more of a “homemade,” type, rather than a “fabulously fast” type, then feel free to make your own homemade gravy to serve with this! I typically do, but when time is short and I’m looking for quick and easy, I’ll use the packet of white gravy mix.
    • Serve these up with my chorizo gravy recipe or this jalapeno chorizo gravy for an extra special treat!
    • I chose to buy uncooked sausage links and pan fry them. However, you can make breakfast even easier and purchase the pre-cooked sausage links. You can also use the veggie sausage links that you can find in the freezer section or turkey/chicken breakfast sausage links.
    • Sprinkle these guys with everything bagel seasoning before you bake them to add flavor and texture.

    FAQs

    • What should I serve with pigs in a blanket?
      • Fresh fruit is a great option. We like fresh blueberries or this Honey Lime Fruit Salad.
      • Mini cinnamon rolls or mini pancakes are a sweet addition to a breakfast spread.
      • Additional breakfast sausages (link sausages or sausage patties), ham or bacon are never a bad idea. Try our air fryer bacon recipe!
      • Gravy (of course!), maple syrup, warmed fruit jam and honey are delicious to dip these breakfast bites in.
    • Can pigs in a blanket be prepared the night before? Yes. You can bake them them and reheat them when you are ready for breakfast. We recommend heating them in the oven at 350 degrees F until they are warmed through. You can reheat them in the microwave, but the crescent roll dough may not stay crispy.
    • Do you put egg wash on pigs in a blanket? We didn’t, but you certainly can! It will give these pigs in a blanket a shiny, deeper golden color. Simply whisk an egg in a small bowl until the egg white and egg yolk are well combined and use a pastry brush to brush the egg mixture over the crescent roll dough.

    Keep these breakfast pigs in a blanket in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
