Delight in this easy-to-make Breakfast Pigs in Blanket recipe featuring puff pastry wrapped around flavorful pork sausages. Perfectly golden and crispy, these bite-sized treats make an ideal savory breakfast or snack served warm with your favorite dipping sauces.

Ingredients

Sausages

  • 1 pound pork sausages (spicy or sweet)

Puff Pastry

  • 1 sheet puff pastry (thawed)

Egg Wash

  • 1 egg
  • 1 tablespoon water

Seasonings (Optional)

  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon Italian herbs

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it reaches the right temperature for baking the pastries to a golden crisp.
  2. Prepare Pastry: Roll out the thawed puff pastry on a lightly floured surface. Cut it into rectangles sized sufficiently to wrap each sausage completely without gaps.
  3. Wrap Sausages: Place a sausage at one end of each pastry rectangle and roll tightly, sealing the edges to encase the sausage fully, preventing juices from leaking out during baking.
  4. Apply Egg Wash: Whisk the egg and water together to create an egg wash, then brush it evenly over the surface of each wrapped sausage. This will give them a beautiful glossy finish.
  5. Bake: Arrange the wrapped sausages on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes until the puff pastry is puffed and golden brown.
  6. Cool and Serve: Let the pigs in blanket cool slightly on a wire rack before serving warm. Pair with your favorite dipping sauces for a delicious breakfast treat.

Notes

  • You can use either sweet or spicy pork sausages to suit your taste preference.
  • If you don’t have puff pastry sheets, you can substitute with crescent roll dough, though the texture will differ slightly.
  • Optional garlic powder and Italian herbs add an extra depth of flavor to the pastry wrapping.
  • These can be prepared ahead and stored in the fridge before baking for convenience.
  • Make sure to seal the pastry edges well to prevent leakage during baking.
