Breakfast Pigs in a Blanket
Description
The recipe Breakfast Pigs in a Blanket highlights cooked maple-flavored breakfast sausages individually encased in crustless soft white bread slices. The bread is dipped into an egg mixture seasoned with vanilla and cinnamon, which imparts a gentle sweetness and aromatic warmth. Pan-frying these in butter yields a golden, crispy outer layer with a soft interior backing the savory sausage.
This dish balances sweet and savory notes, offering a comforting breakfast option with each sausage neatly packaged for easy eating. The texture contrast between the tender bread and cooked sausage enhances each bite.
These can be served right away for breakfast or brunch, complemented with powdered sugar and maple syrup if desired. The method ensures each piece is evenly cooked and sealed for neat serving.
Ingredients
- 1 loaf white bread soft
- 16 links breakfast sausage 1 package, cooked according to package instructions, maple flavor
- 3 egg
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 tsp vanilla
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon
- 2 tbsp butter divided
- maple syrup for serving, optional
- powdered sugar for serving, optional
Instructions
- Remove sixteen middle slices of white bread from the loaf. Cut crusts off and discard (or use as breadcrumbs for later!).
- Wrap one cooked breakfast sausage link up in one piece of bread, pressing the bottom edge of the bread on the board to seal tightly around the sausage. Repeat with remaining sausages.
- In a shallow dish, whisk eggs, milk, vanilla, and cinnamon together to combine.
- Preheat a large, nonstick skillet over medium heat. Melt in 1 tablespoon butter in the bottom of the pan.
- Dip eight bread wrapped breakfast sausages into the egg mixture and place each one into the hot butter, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Cook and rotate the pigs to create golden blankets on every side.
- Remove from pan and serve warm with powdered sugar and maple syrup.
