Ingredients
- 16 breakfast sausage links
- Two 12.4-ounce tubes refrigerated cinnamon rolls with icing (such as Pillsbury)
- Pure maple syrup, for dipping
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400F and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place the sausage links on the prepared baking sheet and bake, turning once halfway through, until golden brown and fully cooked, about 15 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel to drain. Discard the parchment and line the baking sheet with a fresh piece. Lower the oven temperature to 375F.
- Separate the cinnamon rolls and set aside the icing. Flatten each roll with your fingers into a 3 to 4-inch-long oval, then wrap it around a sausage link with the cinnamon-sugar side facing outward. Place the wrapped sausages seam-side down, spaced about inch apart, in two rows of eight on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake until the rolls are lightly golden, about 15 minutes. Allow to cool to room temperature.
- Transfer the pigs-in-a-blanket to a serving platter, drizzle with the reserved icing, and serve with maple syrup on the side for dipping.
