Servings 4
Ingredients
- 8 slices bread white or whole wheat
- 8 breakfast sausage links
- 2 large eggs
- 3 tsp milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon butter for cooking
- Maple syrup for serving
Instructions
- Start by cooking the breakfast sausage links according to the package instructions. Once cooked, set them aside..
- In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and cinnamon until well combined. Remove the bread crust, and flatten the slices with a rolling pin to 1/8 inch thickness.
- Take one slice of flattened bread and place a sausage link at one end. Roll it up tightly and secure it with a toothpick if necessary. Repeat with the remaining bread and sausages.
- Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and melt about 1 tbsp of butter. Coat the rolls in the egg mixture and place seam side down. Cook 3-4 roll at a time.
- When browned, turn a quarter turn and continue until all sides are cooked and browned nicely. Serve warm with maple syrup drizzled on top and a dusting of powdered sugar if desired.
- - I’ve found that using the freshest bread gets you the prettiest roll-ups.
- - If you don’t have a rolling pin, use a jar or glass.
- - You can substitute sausages with turkey or plant-based sausage for a healthier or vegetarian option.
