Ingredients
Bread and Sausage
- 10 slices of bread
- 10 fully cooked sausage links
Egg Mixture
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
Instructions
- Prepare the bread: Use a rolling pin or your hands to flatten the bread slices. You may remove the crusts if desired to create a neater roll-up.
- Roll the sausage: Place one fully cooked sausage link on the front edge of each flattened bread slice, then roll the bread tightly around the sausage. Set each roll-up aside on a plate.
- Mix the egg batter: In a shallow dish or blender, combine eggs, milk, sugar, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and flour. Mix until the batter is smooth and well incorporated.
- Preheat the cooking surface: Heat a griddle or skillet over medium heat and grease it generously with butter to prevent sticking and add flavor.
- Dip and cook the roll-ups: Dip each sausage roll-up into the egg mixture, making sure to coat all sides evenly. Place the coated roll-ups onto the hot, greased griddle carefully.
- Cook until golden brown: Cook the roll-ups for several minutes, turning gently to brown all sides evenly. The French toast exterior should be golden and slightly crisp while the sausage inside is warmed through.
- Serve warm: Remove the roll-ups from the griddle and serve immediately, ideally with syrup for dipping or drizzling.
Notes
- Removing the crusts from the bread makes rolling easier and gives a smoother finish.
- Fully cooked sausage links are recommended for quick preparation; you can substitute with cooked bacon or other sausages if preferred.
- Use a non-stick skillet or griddle and butter generously to avoid sticking and enhance flavor.
- Serve with maple syrup, honey, or your favorite breakfast syrup for added sweetness.
- For a richer taste, consider using whole milk or a milk alternative like almond or oat milk.
- If preferred, the bread slices can be lightly toasted before rolling for extra texture.
