Instructions

Preheat and Prep: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Prepare Sausages: If your sausages are not pre-cooked, sauté them in a skillet according to package directions until fully cooked. Pat them dry with a paper towel to remove excess grease.
Assemble the Pigs: Unroll the crescent dough and separate it into the pre-cut triangles. If using cheese, sprinkle a small amount at the wide end of each triangle. Place one sausage on the wide end of each triangle and roll it up tightly towards the point.
Bake to Perfection: Arrange the wrapped sausages seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. For a golden, shiny finish, brush them lightly with the optional egg wash.
Bake: Place in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the dough is puffed and deep golden brown.
Serve: Let them cool for a few minutes before serving. They are best enjoyed warm!

Dipping Sauces: Serve with maple syrup, honey mustard, ketchup, or hot sauce.
Complete the Meal: Pair with fresh fruit, a green salad, or a breakfast smoothie.

Pancake-Battered: For a true breakfast feel, dip cooked sausages in pancake batter and cook on a greased griddle until golden, like mini pancake corn dogs!
Fully Loaded: Add a thin strip of scrambled egg inside the dough with the sausage for a complete breakfast sandwich in every bite.
Spicy Kick: Tuck a small slice of jalapeño or a pinch of pepper jack cheese inside with the sausage.
Sweet & Savory: After brushing with egg wash, sprinkle with a little cinnamon sugar before baking.

Refrigerator: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
Freezer: Once completely cooled, freeze in a single layer on a baking sheet, then transfer to a freezer bag. They will keep for up to 1 month.
Reheating: Reheat in the microwave for 30-45 seconds. For a crispier result, reheat in a 350°F oven or air fryer for 5-7 minutes, until warmed through.
