Scale
Ingredients
- 1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 8 fully cooked turkey sausage links
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons whole milk
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- Nonstick cooking spray
- Maple syrup, for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Baking Sheet: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or coat it lightly with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Make Scrambled Eggs: In a small bowl, whisk the eggs and whole milk together until fully combined. Pour this mixture into a nonstick skillet set over medium heat and scramble the eggs until they are fully cooked but still moist. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Prepare Dough: Unroll the refrigerated crescent roll dough and separate it into 8 individual triangles as per package instructions.
- Assemble Pigs in a Blanket: On the wide end of each dough triangle, place a spoonful of scrambled eggs followed by a sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese. Top with one fully cooked turkey sausage link. Starting at the wide end, roll the dough over the sausage and filling completely, then place seam side down on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the crescent rolls are golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve and Enjoy: Let the pigs in a blanket cool slightly before serving warm. Serve with maple syrup on the side for optional dipping.
Notes
- Use fully cooked turkey sausage links to ensure quick baking and food safety.
- Scrambled eggs should be moist but not runny to avoid soggy dough.
- Maple syrup adds a sweet contrast but is optional based on personal preference.
- Cheddar cheese can be substituted with your favorite cheese if desired.
- Ensure the dough is sealed well around the sausages to prevent leakage during baking.
