Meal Prep and Storage

How to prep ahead of time: You can slice the dough and roll the piggies up to 1 to 2 days before you need them. Simply store the wrapped sausage pieces carefully stacked in wax paper or plastic wrap so nothing is touching (they'll stick to each other) and store them in the fridge.

How to store: If there are leftovers, place them in an airtight container or in zipped bag in the refrigerator for up to 4 to 5 days.

How to freeze: These are best stored flash frozen in a single layer for a couple of hours first and then transferred to a freezer-safe bag and kept in the freezer for up to 3 to 4 months.

How to reheat: You can pop these back in a 300℉ oven for 5 to 10 minutes or use the microwave to warm them back up. However, the microwave will yield slightly soggy pigs in a blanket.
