Course: Breakfast

Ingredients
  

  • 8 slices sandwich bread crusts removed
  • 8 cooked breakfast sausage links pork, turkey, or plant-based
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons sugar optional
  • 1 tablespoon butter or oil
  • maple syrup or honey

Equipment

  • Rolling Pin
  • Large skillet
  • Bowl

Method
 

  1. First, you'll want to gently flatten each slice of bread using a rolling pin. Don't worry about making them perfectly flat; a little rustic charm is fine!
  2. Next, place a cooked sausage link on one end of each flattened bread slice.
  3. Now, tightly roll each slice around the sausage, creating a neat little roll-up.
  4. In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, cinnamon, and vanilla extract. If you’re using sugar, add it now.
  5. Dip each roll-up into the egg mixture, making sure they're fully coated.
  6. Heat the butter or oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Carefully place the roll-ups in the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until they're golden brown and heated through. You might need to cook them in batches, depending on the size of your pan.
  7. For extra sweetness and spice, toss the warm roll-ups in a mixture of cinnamon and sugar.
  8. Serve immediately and drizzle generously with maple syrup or honey.

Notes

Try using different types of bread, like challah or brioche. You could also add a sprinkle of chopped nuts or dried fruit to the egg mixture for extra texture and flavor. And don’t be afraid to get creative with the sausage – crumbled sausage, bacon, or even breakfast patties would work wonderfully!
