Ingredients
- 8 slices Bread (white or whole wheat)
- 8 Breakfast Sausage (cooked)
- 2 large Eggs
- 3 tsp Milk
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 1 tsp Cinnamon
- 1 tbsp Butter (for cooking)
- Maple Syrup (for serving)
- Powder Sugar (for serving)
- Berries optional for toppings
Instructions
Prepare the Sausage
- Start by cooking your breakfast sausage links according to the package instructions. Once they are fully cooked, set them aside to cool slightly. After they cool, cut each sausage link in half to make them the perfect size for the bread.
Flatten the Bread
- Using a rolling pin, flatten each slice of bread. This step is crucial as it will make it easier to roll up the bread around the sausage and give you that nice, tight roll that holds everything together. It’s also a fun part of the process, so grab your rolling pin and get rolling!
Assemble the Roll-Ups
- Now comes the fun part—assembling the roll-ups! Take one half of a cooked sausage link and place it on each flattened bread slice. Roll the bread tightly around the sausage to form a neat, secure "roll-up." Repeat the process for all 8 slices of bread.
Make the French Toast Batter
- In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and cinnamon. Make sure everything is fully combined, creating a smooth, fragrant batter that will coat the roll-ups perfectly.
Coat the Roll-Ups
- Next, dip each sausage-filled bread roll-up into the French toast batter. Ensure that each roll is fully coated in the egg mixture so it gets that rich, golden-brown crust when cooked.
Cook the Roll-Ups
- Heat a tablespoon of butter in a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Once the butter is melted and sizzling, add the roll-ups to the pan. Cook them for about 2-3 minutes on each side, turning occasionally until all sides are golden brown and crispy. You want that perfect crispy texture to complement the softness inside.
Serve and Enjoy!
- Once your roll-ups are golden brown and delicious, remove them from the skillet and place them on a serving plate. Drizzle with warm maple syrup and serve immediately. These little bites of heaven are perfect for breakfast, brunch, or even a fun dinner option!
