Ingredients
Scale
Main Protein:
- 10 fully cooked sausage links
- 10 slices bread
Liquid Ingredients:
- 3 large eggs
- ½ cup (120 milliliters) milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients:
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Meticulously press each bread slice flat using a rolling pin, ensuring an even, uniform thickness. Optionally trim the crusts for a neater presentation.
- Position a single sausage link precisely at the front edge of each flattened bread slice, then carefully roll the bread around the sausage, creating a tightly wound cylinder.
- Combine eggs, whole milk (236 milliliters or 8 fluid ounces), granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, pure vanilla extract, and all-purpose flour in a wide, shallow container. Whisk vigorously until the mixture transforms into a smooth, homogeneous liquid.
- Heat a griddle or non-stick skillet over medium temperature, applying a generous layer of unsalted butter to prevent sticking and enhance flavor.
- Immerse each sausage-wrapped bread roll into the egg mixture, gently rotating to ensure complete and even coating on all surfaces.
- Transfer the coated rolls onto the hot, buttered cooking surface. Cook for approximately 2-3 minutes per side, rotating carefully to achieve a uniform golden-brown exterior and ensure the sausage is thoroughly heated.
- Plate the crispy, caramelized roll-ups immediately while warm. Drizzle with maple syrup or your preferred sweet accompaniment for a delightful breakfast experience.
Notes
- Prep ahead by flattening bread slices completely to ensure a tight, compact roll-up that holds the sausage securely.
- Choose thin-sliced bread for easier rolling and a more delicate texture that cooks evenly and quickly.
- Whisk egg mixture thoroughly to create a smooth, consistent coating that helps bread brown beautifully and adds extra flavor.
- Use medium heat to prevent burning and achieve a golden-brown exterior while ensuring the sausage inside is fully warmed through.
- Consider mixing maple syrup with a pinch of cinnamon for an enhanced topping that complements the sausage and French toast flavors.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container and reheat in a skillet or toaster oven to maintain crispy texture.
