Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 10 slices sandwich bread
- 10 cooked sausage links
Binding Ingredients:
- 3 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon milk
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Garnish and Serving:
- Unsalted butter
- Maple syrup
- Powdered sugar
- Fresh fruit
Instructions
- Take each sandwich bread slice and press firmly with a rolling pin to flatten completely across the surface.
- Carefully slice off the bread crusts from all sides using a sharp knife to create clean, neat edges.
- Position one cooked sausage link at the nearest edge of each flattened bread slice, ensuring it’s centered and aligned.
- Gently roll the bread around the sausage link, applying light pressure to create a tight, compact cylinder.
- Crack 3 large eggs into a shallow mixing bowl and add 1 tablespoon milk, ½ teaspoon cinnamon, and ½ teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Whisk the egg mixture thoroughly until all ingredients are smoothly combined and no streaks remain.
- Submerge each bread roll into the egg mixture, rotating to coat every surface evenly with the custard.
- Place a nonstick skillet over medium heat and melt 1 tablespoon unsalted butter across the cooking surface.
- Carefully arrange the coated rolls in the skillet, turning every 90 seconds to ensure golden brown coloration on all sides.
- Cook the rolls for approximately 6-8 minutes total, monitoring heat to prevent burning.
- Transfer the golden rolls to serving plates and dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with maple syrup.
- Garnish with fresh berries or sliced fruit for added color and brightness.
Notes
- Flatten bread thoroughly with a rolling pin to ensure even, tight rolls that won’t unravel during cooking.
- Choose breakfast sausage links that are pre-cooked and relatively thin to make rolling easier and prevent bulky centers.
- Dip roll-ups quickly in the custard mixture, allowing excess to drip off to prevent soggy edges and ensure crisp, golden exterior.
- For a gluten-free version, substitute standard sandwich bread with gluten-free bread and check that your sausage is gluten-free certified.
