Ingredients
Scale
Meat:
- 8 breakfast sausage links
Main Ingredients:
- 8 slices bread (white or whole wheat, crusts removed)
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 cup (120 milliliters) milk
Seasonings and Cooking Ingredients:
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon (15 grams) butter
Optional Garnish:
- Maple syrup
- Powdered sugar
Instructions
- Grill sausage links until fully cooked according to package instructions, then allow to cool slightly at room temperature.
- Trim bread crusts and gently flatten each slice using a rolling pin to create thin, uniform rectangles.
- Prepare egg mixture by whisking eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and cinnamon in a wide, shallow container until thoroughly combined.
- Position a sausage link at one end of each flattened bread slice and roll tightly, creating a compact cylinder. Secure with a toothpick if needed to prevent unraveling.
- Heat butter in a skillet over medium temperature until melted and slightly bubbling.
- Carefully submerge each bread roll into the egg mixture, ensuring complete coating on all surfaces.
- Transfer coated rolls to the heated skillet, cooking for 3-4 minutes and rotating periodically to achieve uniform golden-brown coloration on all sides.
- Once perfectly crispy and golden, transfer rolls to serving plate, remove toothpicks, and garnish with maple syrup and a light dusting of powdered sugar for enhanced flavor.
Notes
- Select high-quality breakfast sausage links for maximum flavor and juiciness.
- Remove bread crusts completely to ensure smooth, even rolling without bulky edges.
- Press bread gently with rolling pin to create thin, pliable surface for wrapping sausages.
- Use toothpicks sparingly and remove before serving to maintain elegant presentation.
- Keep egg mixture well-whisked to guarantee consistent coating on roll-ups.
- Maintain medium heat to prevent burning while achieving golden-brown exterior.
- Rotate roll-ups frequently during cooking for even browning and thorough heating.
- Drain excess butter on paper towels to reduce greasiness and enhance texture.
- Serve immediately while warm to preserve crispy exterior and melty interior.
- Experiment with different sausage varieties like chicken or turkey for lighter options.
