Ingredients

Scale

Primary Ingredients:

  • 10 breakfast sausage links
  • 10 slices white sandwich bread
  • 3 large eggs

Binding Ingredients:

  • ¼ cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Finishing Ingredients:

  • Butter or oil, for frying
  • Maple syrup, for serving (optional)
  • Powdered sugar, for serving (optional)

Instructions

  1. Grab 10 fully cooked breakfast sausage links and 10 white sandwich bread slices. Warm the sausages slightly to make rolling easier.
  2. Cut off bread crusts. Use a rolling pin to flatten each bread slice completely smooth.
  3. Position one sausage link at the edge of a flattened bread slice. Roll the bread tightly around the sausage, pressing firmly to seal the edges.
  4. Whisk 3 large eggs (236 ml), 60 ml whole milk, 5 ml cinnamon, and 2.5 ml vanilla extract in a shallow bowl until completely blended.
  5. Heat butter or oil in a skillet to medium temperature (350°F/175°C). Thoroughly coat each roll-up in the egg mixture, ensuring complete coverage.
  6. Carefully place roll-ups in the hot skillet. Fry for 2-3 minutes per side until surfaces turn golden brown and crispy.
  7. Transfer fried roll-ups to paper towels to absorb excess oil. Let them rest for 1-2 minutes to cool slightly.
  8. Arrange on a serving plate. Dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with maple syrup if desired. Serve immediately while warm and crisp.

Notes

  • Always choose pre-cooked sausages for easier handling and quicker preparation.
  • Press bread slices firmly with a rolling pin to create a thin, even surface that wraps smoothly around sausages.
  • Ensure the egg mixture coating is light and even for a crisp, golden exterior without soggy spots.
  • For a gluten-free version, swap wheat bread with gluten-free bread and check sausage ingredients carefully.
