Mmmm, nothing beats some little sausage links tucked under a blanket of store bought crescent roll bread for a quick and filling breakfast. Beats cereals on most any day.
Let's get started...
Ingredients are simple enough... crescent rolls (suggest NOT getting flaky kind, just standard), Li'l Smokies (or Li'l Polskas like I did here work great), cheese (optional)
Open up the can of crescent rolls and lay them out
Take an individual triangle
Slice it in half (when you first do it, it seems like an odd angle, but it'll work out)
Take your Li'l whatevers you want to use (I'm going to try some actual breakfast sausage one day and not just these little link things)
Get some cheese (optional, and if you do this, I would suggest cutting a bit smaller, you'll see)
Place cheese as shown (again, optional, and make it smaller, by about half of what you see here)
Place your Li'l piggy right on top
Roll up and place on a pan (follow roll directions for any spray on pan or not)
Wanna see it again without the cheese?
I thought so...
Start with 1/2 a triangle and your pig
Lay the piggy down for a nap
Tuck the piggy in to bed
Ta-da!
Place with point under the pig (I don't know why, I bet they wouldn't unravel)
Place in a pre-heated oven and bake (per the crescent roll directions)
See, the cheese was too big in this little piggies blanket... it's optional, but again, use a smaller chunk than what you saw earlier... unless you like all of the cheese melted out and sitting slightly burnt on the pan.
OK, you know you want some close-ups... here we go...
Ooohhh....
Aahhhh....
Yummmm.... I should have stopped with those above... but I was curious...
What would it do if I used the full crescent roll and two links?
While it tastes all the same, the bread expands in the middle and aided by the cheese, the pigs get poked out the sides... pretty much creating a mess... bread in the middle, pigs on the ends and cheese on the pan. Yep, definately got greedy.
Don't care for crescent roll bread? No problem... I've got some biscuit dough in the refrigerator waiting to see how biscuit pigs work out.
