Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • Here are the ingredients you'll need:
  • Bread
  • Go for soft sandwich bread that rolls easily. White bread is classic but whole wheat works just as well. Removing the crusts helps the bread stay flexible and roll without cracking.
  • Sausage
  • Pre-cooked breakfast sausage links are a big time-saver. Using uncooked sausage? Make sure it’s fully cooked and cooled before wrapping.
  • Eggs & Milk
  • This mixture creates that signature French toast coating. Whole milk gives a richer bite but dairy-free options like almond or oat milk are great swaps.
  • Spices
  • Cinnamon brings warmth and familiarity. Want to switch it up? Nutmeg or pumpkin spice adds a cozy twist.
  • Maple Syrup
  • Pure maple syrup delivers the best flavor and elevates the whole dish—worth it every time.

Method
 

1. Prepare the Bread

Place bread slices on a flat surface. Cut off crusts and gently flatten each slice with a rolling pin.

    2. Roll It Up

    Set one sausage link near the edge of each slice. Roll the bread snugly around the sausage.

      3. Mix the Batter

      In a shallow dish, whisk together eggs, milk, cinnamon, and vanilla until smooth and well combined.

        4. Cook to Golden Perfection

        Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Dip each roll-up into the egg mixture, coating all sides. Cook, turning frequently, until evenly golden—about 2–3 minutes per side.

          5. Serve Warm

          Transfer to a plate, sprinkle with powdered sugar if you like, and finish with a generous drizzle of maple syrup.

            Notes

            Storage & Reheating Tips

            Allow roll-ups to cool completely before storing. Keep them in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 2 months. Reheat in an air fryer or toaster oven for best texture. The microwave works when you’re rushed, but the bread will be softer.

            Fun Variations to Try

            • Cheese Lover’s Version: Slip in a thin slice of cheddar or Swiss before rolling.
            • Fruity Twist: Spread a light layer of strawberry jam inside the bread first.
            • Sweet Heat: Pair spicy sausage with a drizzle of hot honey.
            • Seasonal Flair: Use pumpkin spice instead of cinnamon and top with whipped cream.

            Why This Recipe Works

            • Beginner-Friendly: Simple steps, no special skills required.
            • Totally Flexible: Swap in turkey, chicken, or plant-based sausage.
            • Kid-Approved: Easy to hold, dip, and devour.
            • Perfect for Prep: Make ahead and reheat for stress-free mornings.
