How to Make French Toast Pigs in a Blanket
1. Cook the Sausages – Start by cooking the breakfast sausage links in a pan until they’re fully cooked and golden brown. Set aside to cool slightly.
2. Prepare the French Toast Batter – In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and a pinch of nutmeg to make a rich, flavorful batter.
3. Brush the Crescent Rolls – Lay out the crescent roll triangles on a baking sheet. Using a pastry brush, lightly coat each triangle with the French toast batter.
4. Wrap the Sausages – Place a cooked sausage link at the wide end of each triangle, then roll it up snugly to form a mini “blanket.”
5. Add a Final Batter Coating – Once rolled, brush the tops of each wrapped sausage with more French toast batter for extra flavor and golden color.
6. Bake and Serve – Bake in a preheated oven until the crescent rolls are puffed and golden brown. Serve warm with a side of maple syrup for dipping!

They’re fun to make, delicious to eat, and simple enough for a stress-free morning. So this year, add a little twist to your holiday breakfast — it might just become everyone’s favorite tradition!
