Step 1: Cook the Sausages
- Prepare the Sausages: Cook the breakfast sausages according to the package instructions until fully cooked. You can do this in a skillet over medium heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned and cooked through. Set aside to cool slightly.
Step 2: Prepare the Bread
- Trim and Flatten: Trim the crusts off the bread slices. Use a rolling pin to flatten each slice to about 1/4 inch thickness. This makes the bread more pliable for rolling.
Step 3: Make the Egg Mixture
- Whisk Together: In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon until well combined.
Step 4: Assemble the Roll-Ups
- Place a Sausage: Lay a sausage on the edge of a piece of flattened bread, then roll the bread around the sausage tightly.
- Dip in Egg Mixture: Dip the bread-wrapped sausage into the egg mixture, ensuring it’s well-coated on all sides.
Step 5: Cook the Roll-Ups
- Heat the Skillet: Melt some butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Fry the Roll-Ups: Place the dipped roll-ups in the skillet, seam side down. Cook until golden brown on all sides, turning occasionally, about 2-3 minutes per side.
Step 6: Serve
- Prepare for Serving: Transfer the cooked roll-ups to a serving plate. If desired, dust with powdered sugar and serve with maple syrup for dipping. Fresh fruits can be added for garnish and extra freshness.
Tips for Perfect Sausage French Toast Roll-Ups
- Bread Choice: Use soft, fresh bread for easier rolling and a tender texture.
- Customization: Feel free to add a sprinkle of sugar or a dash of nutmeg to the egg mixture for extra flavor.
- Keeping Warm: If making a large batch, keep the cooked roll-ups warm in an oven set to a low temperature (around 200°F or 90°C) while you finish cooking the rest.
- Serving Suggestion: For a heartier meal, serve with additional breakfast sides like scrambled eggs or fruit salad.
