Ingredients List
- Bread:
- 8 slices of bread (preferably slightly stale)
- Sausage:
- 8 sausage links (pork, turkey, or vegetarian alternatives)
- Egg Mixture:
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Cooking:
- 2 tbsp butter
- Serving:
- Maple syrup
- Powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)
Instructions
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Prepare the Sausage:
- Cook the sausage links in a skillet over medium heat until browned and fully cooked. Remove from the skillet and let cool slightly. You can cut them in half if they are too long for the bread slices.
- Prepare the Egg Mixture:
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, cinnamon, and vanilla extract until well combined. Ensure there are no lumps of cinnamon.
- Prepare the Bread:
- Trim the crusts off the bread slices to make them easier to roll. Flatten each slice with a rolling pin to make them pliable.
- Assemble the Roll-Ups:
- Place a sausage link at one end of a bread slice and roll it up tightly. Secure the roll-up with a toothpick if necessary to keep it from unrolling during cooking.
- Dip and Cook:
- Heat the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Dip each roll-up into the egg mixture, ensuring it is fully coated.
- Place the roll-ups in the skillet seam-side down. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until all sides are golden brown and the bread is cooked through.
- Serve:
- Remove the roll-ups from the skillet and remove any toothpicks. Serve warm with maple syrup and a dusting of powdered sugar if desired.
Notes
- Use Different Types of Sausages:
- Experiment with different sausage varieties like chicken, turkey, or vegetarian sausages to change up the flavor profile.
- Add a Sprinkle of Powdered Sugar:
- For extra sweetness and a lovely presentation, dust the roll-ups with powdered sugar just before serving.
- Try Flavored Syrups:
- Enhance the flavor by serving the roll-ups with flavored syrups such as maple, blueberry, or caramel.
