Ingredients:
- 8 slices white or whole wheat sandwich bread, crusts removed
- 8 cooked breakfast sausage links
- 2 large eggs
- ¼ cup milk
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- 2 tablespoons butter (for cooking)
- Maple syrup, for dipping or drizzling
-
Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Prep the Bread
Use a rolling pin to flatten each slice of bread. This helps it roll up easily without tearing.
2. Add the Sausage
Place one cooked sausage link on the edge of each bread slice and roll tightly.
3. Make the French Toast Mixture
In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, cinnamon, vanilla, and a pinch of salt.
4. Dip the Roll-Ups
Dip each roll-up into the egg mixture, coating all sides. Don’t let them soak too long or they’ll fall apart.
5. Cook Until Golden
Heat butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Place roll-ups seam-side down in the pan and cook until golden brown on all sides (about 2–3 minutes per side).
Serving Suggestions:
- Serve warm with maple syrup
- Dust with powdered sugar for extra sweetness
- Add fresh fruit on the side like berries or banana slices
- Pair with a smoothie or cup of coffee for a full breakfast
-
Tips for Success:
- Use fresh, soft bread so it rolls without cracking.
- Pre-cook sausage if using frozen or raw links.
- Don’t skip the cinnamon – it makes a big difference in flavor!
-
Storage & Freezing:
To freeze, let the cooked roll-ups cool completely, then place them in an airtight container or freezer bag. Reheat in the microwave or air fryer for a fast, tasty breakfast.
Variations:
- Add a small layer of cream cheese inside the bread before rolling.
- Try apple slices or a sprinkle of shredded cheese inside the roll.
- Use turkey or vegetarian sausage as a healthy alternative.
