Ingredients
Scale
Roll-Ups
- 8 slices sandwich bread (white or brioche, crusts removed)
- 8 cooked breakfast sausage links
Egg Mixture
- 2 large eggs
- ¼ cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon sugar
Cooking & Serving
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (for cooking)
- Maple syrup (for serving)
- Powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the bread: Flatten each slice of bread with a rolling pin until thin enough to roll easily without tearing.
- Assemble the roll-ups: Place one cooked sausage link along the bottom edge of each flattened bread slice, then carefully roll up the bread tightly around the sausage.
- Make the egg wash: In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and sugar until well combined.
- Dip the roll-ups: Submerge each sausage-stuffed bread roll-up into the egg mixture, turning to coat all sides thoroughly.
- Cook the roll-ups: Heat the unsalted butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Place the roll-ups seam-side down in the skillet and cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side, turning carefully to brown each side evenly until golden and crispy.
- Serve: Serve the roll-ups warm with maple syrup drizzled on top and a light dusting of powdered sugar if desired.
Notes
- Use maple sausage for an extra touch of sweetness or substitute turkey sausage for a lighter alternative.
- These roll-ups can be prepared ahead of time and frozen before cooking; simply thaw and cook when ready.
- For a dairy-free version, use non-dairy milk and butter substitutes.
- Make sure to flatten the bread well to prevent tearing when rolling.
- Adjust cinnamon and sugar amounts to suit your taste preferences.
