Ingredients
Sausage
- 12 count Jimmy Dean fully cooked breakfast sausage links
Dough
- 6 Original Pillsbury Cinnamon Rolls
Topping
- Included icing from cinnamon roll package, for topping
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for baking the wrapped sausages.
- Prepare Dough: Cut each of the 6 cinnamon rolls in half. Using your hand or the back of a knife, gently press each half to flatten it for easier wrapping.
- Wrap Sausage: Roll each flattened cinnamon roll half tightly around one fully cooked breakfast sausage link, ensuring it is fully wrapped.
- Repeat Wrapping: Continue the process until all 12 sausage links are individually wrapped with cinnamon roll dough halves.
- Arrange on Pan: Place each wrapped sausage seam side down on a greased baking sheet to prevent sticking and maintain shape while baking.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven at 375°F for about 14 minutes, or until the cinnamon rolls are golden brown and cooked through.
- Add Icing: Once baked, apply the included cinnamon roll icing generously on top of each pig in a blanket, using a knife or piping bag for neat presentation.
- Serve and Enjoy: Allow to cool slightly, then serve warm and enjoy your sweet and savory breakfast treat!
Notes
- Using fully cooked sausage links shortens cooking time and ensures food safety.
- Flattening the dough helps it wrap more neatly around the sausage.
- Placing the wrapped sausages seam side down helps them stay closed while baking.
- Customize the recipe by adding a sprinkle of cinnamon or nuts on top before baking if desired.
- Serve with fresh fruit or coffee for a complete breakfast meal.
