Notes

Expert Recipe Tips:

- Use Pre-Cooked Bacon for Best Texture. Pre-cooked bacon is not only convenient but ensures that you don’t end up with soggy or overly greasy results. Regular raw bacon can release too much fat during baking, making the dough soft and oily.

- Grease Skewers Thoroughly. Use shortening (not oil) to grease the skewers—this ensures the dough won’t stick and the skewer slides out effortlessly after baking. If the skewer resists, let it cool slightly longer before removing.

- Chill Skewers Before Baking (Optional). If you have time, chill the rolled-up skewers for about 15 minutes before baking. This can help maintain the shape during baking and give the dough a better puff and golden finish.

- Brush Evenly for That French Toast Look. Be generous but even when brushing on the egg mixture. This is what gives that golden, slightly crispy French toast texture and flavor. Make sure every roll is fully coated.

- Sprinkle Sugar Last-Minute. Add the sugar right before baking, not ahead of time. If it sits too long, it can dissolve into the egg wash and lose that sweet, crisp finish.

- Reheat Like a Pro. To reheat without losing texture, skip the microwave. Use a toaster oven or air fryer at 300°F for 4–5 minutes. It crisps up the outside without drying out the inside.

- Serve with Dipping Cups. For potlucks or kids' gatherings, portion the whipped cream and syrup dip into mini condiment cups. It makes for easier serving and less mess!

- Use Parchment Paper. Parchment paper makes for very easy cleanup!

Storage:

You can store these in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Store the whipped cream and syrup separately.

You can also freeze these breakfast pigs in a blanket for up to 3 months (in an airtight container).
