Delicious and easy-to-make Breakfast Pigs in Blanket featuring savory pork sausages wrapped in flaky puff pastry, perfect for a hearty morning treat or brunch snack.

Ingredients

Sausages

  • 1 pound pork sausages (spicy or sweet)

Puff Pastry

  • 1 sheet puff pastry (thawed)

Egg Wash

  • 1 egg (for egg wash)
  • 1 tablespoon water (for egg wash)

Optional Seasonings

  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon Italian herbs (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it's hot enough for the puff pastry to bake evenly and achieve a golden, flaky texture.
  2. Prepare Pastry: Roll out the thawed puff pastry on a lightly floured surface to prevent sticking. Cut it into rectangles large enough to fully wrap each sausage individually.
  3. Wrap Sausages: Place one sausage at the edge of each pastry rectangle. Roll the pastry tightly around the sausage, making sure there are no gaps or openings to keep the sausage enclosed during baking.
  4. Apply Egg Wash: In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to create an egg wash. Brush this mixture evenly over the top of each wrapped sausage to help the pastry develop a shiny, golden finish.
  5. Bake: Arrange the wrapped sausages on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking. Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed, golden brown, and crispy.
  6. Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and let the pigs in blanket cool slightly. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauces for a delicious breakfast or snack.

Notes

  • Feel free to use sweet or spicy pork sausages depending on your flavor preference.
  • Optional garlic powder and Italian herbs can be sprinkled on the puff pastry before baking to add extra flavor.
  • Use parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking and ease cleanup.
  • Ensure puff pastry is properly thawed before rolling to avoid cracking.
  • Serve with ketchup, mustard, or a spicy sauce for dipping.
