Ingredients
-
8 slices bread (white or whole wheat)
-
8 breakfast sausage links
-
4 large eggs
-
½ cup milk
-
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
-
1 teaspoon cinnamon
-
1 tablespoon butter (for cooking)
-
Maple syrup (for serving)
-
Powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)
Instructions
1. Cook the Sausage
Cook breakfast sausage links according to package directions.
Set aside.
2. Prepare the Bread
Trim the crusts from each slice of bread.
Use a rolling pin to flatten each slice completely.
3. Make the Egg Mixture
In a shallow bowl, whisk together:
-
Eggs
-
Milk
-
Vanilla
-
Cinnamon
Mix until smooth.
4. Assemble the Roll-Ups
Place a cooked sausage at one end of a flattened bread slice.
Roll tightly (use a toothpick to secure if needed).
Repeat with all bread slices.
5. Cook the Roll-Ups
Heat butter in a skillet over medium heat.
Dip each roll-up into the egg mixture, making sure it is fully coated.
Cook for 3–4 minutes, turning often until all sides are golden and lightly crisp.
Remove toothpicks before serving.
6. Serve
Serve warm with maple syrup and a dusting of powdered sugar if desired.
Notes
-
Flatten well: The thinner the bread, the easier it will roll without tearing.
-
Don’t oversoak: Dip the roll-ups quickly so the bread doesn’t fall apart.
-
Use sturdy bread: Soft white or whole wheat breads hold together best.
-
Customize the filling: Try turkey sausages, cinnamon swirl bread, or even Nutella + banana for a sweet version.
-
Make ahead: Cook sausage the night before for faster morning prep.
