Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 8 slices bread
- 4 breakfast sausages
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
Supporting Ingredients:
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons sugar
Finishing Ingredients:
- Butter or oil
- Maple syrup
Instructions
- Press each bread slice with a rolling pin until thin and pliable, creating a smooth surface for rolling.
- Crumble 4 cooked breakfast sausages into small, uniform pieces that will distribute evenly inside the roll.
- Whisk 4 large eggs, 1 cup milk, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 2 tablespoons sugar in a wide, shallow bowl until the mixture looks completely blended.
- Arrange a small handful of sausage crumbles at one short end of each flattened bread slice.
- Carefully roll each slice tightly around the sausage, ensuring the filling stays compact and the seam is tucked underneath.
- Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a skillet over medium heat (325°F) until it starts to bubble slightly.
- Dunk each roll into the egg mixture, coating all sides evenly and letting excess liquid drip off.
- Place rolls seam-side down in the hot skillet, allowing 2-3 inches between each piece.
- Fry for 3-4 minutes until the bottom turns golden brown, then rotate and cook the remaining sides.
- Transfer finished rolls to a plate and drizzle generously with warm maple syrup before serving immediately.
Notes
- Flatten bread slices completely to ensure tight, neat roll-ups without gaps.
- Work with slightly stale bread for easier rolling and better texture.
- Crumble sausage finely so it distributes evenly and doesn’t poke through the bread.
- Let roll-ups rest briefly after cooking to help them hold their shape and prevent filling from falling out.
