Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 slices white sandwich bread, crusts removed and flattened with a rolling pin
  • 4 fully cooked breakfast sausage links, cut in half lengthwise
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup whole milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ tsp ground cinnamon
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • Maple syrup, for serving
  • Powdered sugar, for dusting (optional)

Instructions

  • In a shallow bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon until well combined.
  • Lay a slice of bread flat and use a rolling pin to gently press and stretch it into a thin rectangle. Repeat with remaining slices.
  • Place one sausage half at the end of each slice of flattened bread. Tightly roll the bread around the sausage to create a neat cylinder.
  • Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Dip each roll-up in the egg mixture, turning to coat all sides, then transfer to the skillet.
  • Cook the roll-ups, turning occasionally, until all sides are golden brown and the egg coating is set, about 8–10 minutes total. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter as needed to keep the rolls from sticking.
  • Remove the roll-ups from the skillet and let rest for 1–2 minutes before slicing each on the diagonal into bite-sized pieces.
  • Dust with powdered sugar if desired and serve immediately with warm maple syrup for dipping.

 

Notes

  • Bread: Day-old sandwich bread holds shape better—fresh bread can tear.

  • Custard Flavor: Adjust vanilla and cinnamon for sweeter or more neutral profiles.

  • Butter Management: Add extra butter as needed to prevent sticking; clarified butter works well.

  • Freezing Tips: Freeze pre-fried rolls to lock in texture; reheat in air fryer for best crispness.

  • Safety: Cook sausage until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

  • Customization: Experiment with fillings—spinach and feta, ham and Swiss, or even Nutella for a dessert twist.
