Prepare a baking tray with greaseproof paper.

Lay down 2 slices of bacon, overlapping them slightly to connect them.

Place 2 leaves of sage diagonally across the bacon.

Take a chipolata sausage and place it at the bottom of the bacon and sage.

Roll the bacon and sage around the sausage, securing it tightly.

If necessary, use a cocktail stick to secure the bacon around the sausage.

Preheat the oven to 180°C (356°F).

Place the wrapped sausages directly on the baking tray without greaseproof paper for better caramelization.

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes until the bacon is crispy and caramelized.

Remove from the oven and place on a serving plate.

Drizzle balsamic vinegar over the pigs in blankets.

Sprinkle with black pepper and place a single sage leaf on top for garnish.
