Ingredients
Scale
Sausage Roll-Ups
- 10 slices bread
- 10 fully cooked sausage links
Batter
- 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: Using a rolling pin, flatten each slice of bread carefully to make it thin and pliable without tearing, which will make it easier to roll around the sausage links.
- Assemble the Roll-Ups: Place one sausage link on the edge of each flattened bread slice and roll it up tightly around the sausage, ensuring the bread completely wraps the link to hold it securely.
- Make the Batter: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, and all-purpose flour until smooth and well combined. The flour helps thicken the batter slightly to adhere better to the bread.
- Dip the Roll-Ups: Dip each bread-wrapped sausage roll into the egg batter, coating it thoroughly on all sides to ensure maximum flavor and a golden crust when cooked.
- Cook the Roll-Ups: Heat a lightly greased skillet over medium heat. Place the coated roll-ups seam side down in the pan. Cook for approximately 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through, turning carefully to avoid unrolling.
- Serve: Remove the roll-ups from the skillet and serve warm. They can be enjoyed plain or with your favorite syrup or dipping sauce for extra sweetness.
Notes
- Make sure to use fully cooked sausage links to reduce cooking time and ensure food safety.
- Flattening the bread too thin may cause tearing, so handle gently.
- If desired, you can add powdered sugar or syrup on top before serving.
- For a healthier option, use whole wheat bread and low-fat milk.
- Ensure the pan is not too hot to avoid burning the bread before the sausage heats through.
