Ingredients
Scale
Roll-Ups
- 8 slices of bread (white, whole wheat, or brioche)
- 8 cooked sausage links (your preferred type)
Egg Mixture
- 2 large eggs
- ¼ cup milk
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
For Cooking & Serving
- Butter (for frying)
- Maple syrup (for serving)
- Powdered sugar (for serving)
Instructions
- Cook Sausage: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage links until fully cooked through and browned. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
- Prepare Bread: Trim the crusts off each slice of bread to make rolling easier.
- Flatten Bread: Use a rolling pin to flatten each slice of bread gently until thin but intact.
- Roll with Sausage: Place one cooked sausage link at one end of each flattened bread slice, then roll the bread tightly around the sausage.
- Mix Egg Batter: In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, ground cinnamon, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
- Heat Skillet: Place a skillet over medium heat and add a small amount of butter, allowing it to melt and coat the surface.
- Dip & Fry Roll-Ups: Dip each bread roll-up into the egg mixture, fully coating all sides. Place it carefully in the heated skillet.
- Cook Evenly: Cook the roll-ups, turning occasionally to brown all sides evenly until golden brown and cooked through, about 2-3 minutes per side.
- Serve: Serve the sausage French toast roll-ups warm, drizzled with maple syrup or dusted with powdered sugar as desired.
Notes
- Use day-old bread for easier flattening and rolling.
- You can substitute sausage links with breakfast sausage patties if preferred; adjust rolling accordingly.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute milk with almond or oat milk and use oil or dairy-free butter for frying.
- Add a pinch of salt to the egg mixture if desired for enhanced flavor.
- These roll-ups reheat well in a skillet or air fryer for a quick breakfast on the go.
