How to make breakfast pigs in a blanket.
Heat up a pan or skillet to medium heat, then sauté the breakfast sausage links until they are cooked all the way through. This should only take about 5 minutes.
In the mean time, carefully open up your can of cinnamon rolls and unravel each roll. If the rolls fall apart during this process, which they probably will, no worries. You only need about 3-4 inches of dough per sausage.
Cut 3-4 inches of dough, flatten it out with your thumbs or between parchment paper, then wrap one piece around each sausage link.
Place the wrapped sausages in the oven and bake at 350°F for 15-20 minutes, until golden brown. Brush each piece with maple syrup, while still warm.
To finish, drizzle on the included icing and serve immediately! These little Breakfast pigs in a blanket are not only a fun way to have breakfast but the combination of sweet and savory are a great balance.
