Can a guy live on just appetizers alone? I’m on day five of preparing, eating and, ‘surviving’ on appetizers, nothing but.

If you love Little Smokies, crescent rolls and/or pigs in a blanket, this recipe is for you!

This is pigs in a blanket kicked up a notch, for breakfast!

Smokies in a Blanket

Ingredients:

  • One package of crescent rolls
  • 8 – 12 Little Smokies (enough to equal the number of crescent rolls)
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 8-12 spinach leaves
  • 1 Tablespoon roasted red pepper, minced
  • 3 – 4 slices of Havarti cheese, quartered
  • A pinch of Kosher salt
  • A dash of black pepper
  • A dash of garlic powder
  • A shake or two of red pepper flake
  • A generous shake of dried, minced onion

Directions:

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees or suggested temperature according to the crescent roll package instructions.  Separate the rolls, placing them on an ungreased baking tray.  In a small bowl, mix the egg, salt, pepper, garlic powder, red pepper flake and onion.  Brush the crescent rolls with the egg mixture.  Layer the rolls with quartered Havarti cheese, a leaf or two of spinach, a smokie and the roasted red pepper.  Roll up the crescents, brush with the remaining egg mixture and bake for 15 minutes or until golden, brown and delicious.

What a great breakfast!  This meal cost me about $5 to prepare and I’ve got plenty of leftover ingredients to make something else.  These Smokies in a Blanket pack a lot of flavor and they are a true ‘to-go’ food to boot!  It’s sausage, egg, cheese and toast, all in one great bite!
