- 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.
