Why You’ll Love This Recipe
- Sweet and savory in every bite
- Easy to hold and eat with no fork needed
- Freezer-friendly for busy mornings
Ingredients
- 8 slices white sandwich bread, crusts removed
- 8 cooked beef sausage links
- 3 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons butter
- Maple syrup, for serving
- Powdered sugar, for dusting (optional)
How to Make It
- Flatten each slice of bread with a rolling pin until it is thin and even.
- Place one sausage link along one edge of each slice and roll the bread up tightly around it.
- In a shallow bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla, and cinnamon.
- Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Dip each roll-up in the egg mixture, turning it to coat all sides, then place it seam-side down in the skillet.
- Cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side, turning until the roll-ups are golden all over. Dust with powdered sugar and serve warm with maple syrup for dipping.
Pro Tips
- Roll the bread tightly so the roll-ups do not unroll in the pan. Place them seam-side down first to seal them.
- Use bread that is a day old if you can. Fresh, soft bread tears more easily.
- Cook the sausage links fully before rolling them up.
Serving Suggestions
Serve with maple syrup for dipping, plus fresh berries and orange juice. They also pack well in a lunchbox with a small container of syrup.
