Breakfast Pigs in a Blanket (Pancake Mix + Sausage)
Sausage links rolled in fluffy pancakes and Swiss cheese. Serve with syrup or powdered sugar for a fun finger food breakfast recipe.
Servings: 14 pigs in a blanket
Equipment
- Skillet
- tongs
- non-stick cooking spray
Ingredients
- 14 sausage links typically 12 oz. box
- pancake mix make via box, I used 2 cups of pancake mix and 1-1/4 cup of water
- 14 slices Swiss cheese or any cheese
- maple syrup and powdered sugar optional for serving
Instructions
- Place sausage links into a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning frequently, until browned on all sides and internal temperature reaches 165°F, which takes about about 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from pan and keep warm.
- In a mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of pancake mix with 1 ¼ cups water (or follow package instructions for 14 pancakes). Mix until smooth but avoid overmixing.
- Heat a small nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and coat with nonstick spray. Using a 3-tablespoon portion scoop, add batter to the pan. Cook until bubbles form and edges look dry, then flip and cook an additional 1–2 minutes until golden.
- Working while pancake is still warm, place one cooked pancake on a plate or cutting board. Immediately top with one slice of Swiss cheese and one sausage link. Roll up tightly and place seam-side down on a plate. Tongs help if they are too hot. Repeat with remaining pancakes.
- Serve warm as-is, or top with powdered sugar and dip in maple syrup for a sweet-and-savory breakfast option.
