Making Breakfast Pigs in a Blanket is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare Sausages: If using links, cut the breakfast sausages in half; if using patties, flatten them slightly.
3. Unroll Dough: On a clean surface, unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into triangles.
4. Add Cheese: If using cheese, sprinkle some cheese over the wide end of each triangle.
5. Wrap Sausages: Place one sausage at the base of each triangle and roll it upwards, ensuring it’s completely wrapped.
6. Place on Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place the wrapped sausages on it, spacing them evenly.
7. Prepare Egg Wash: In a small bowl, whisk the egg and brush it over the tops of the wrapped sausages.
8. Add Toppings: Sprinkle poppy seeds or sesame seeds on top if desired.
9. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
10. Cool Slightly: Once out of the oven, let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
