Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 6 slices white or whole wheat sandwich bread, crusts trimmed
  • 8 ounces breakfast sausage (ground or pre-cooked)
  • 3 large eggs, beaten
  • 1/4 cup milk (or almond milk for dairy-free)
  • 2 tablespoons butter (or coconut oil for dairy-free)

Optional Ingredients

  • Maple syrup, for serving
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon and 1 tablespoon sugar (for cinnamon sugar optional coating or dipping)
  • Shredded cheddar or mozzarella cheese (for cheese filling variation)
  • Chopped jalapeños or hot sauce (for spicy variation)
  • Seasoned mushrooms or plant-based sausage alternative (for vegetarian option)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the sausage filling: Cook the breakfast sausage in a skillet over medium heat until browned and no longer pink. Drain excess grease and set aside to cool slightly for a juicy filling.
  2. Prepare the bread: Trim crusts from each bread slice, then flatten each slice with a rolling pin until thin and pliable to prevent tearing when rolling.
  3. Assemble the roll ups: Spoon a line of sausage along one edge of each bread slice, optionally add cheese or other fillings, then roll tightly around the filling. Secure with toothpicks if needed to hold shape.
  4. Prepare the egg mixture: Whisk together eggs, milk, and optional cinnamon sugar in a shallow bowl until smooth to create the French toast coating.
  5. Cook the roll ups: Heat butter in a skillet over medium heat. Dip each roll up into the egg mixture, coating all sides, then place seam-side down in the skillet. Cook 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.
  6. Serve hot: Remove roll ups from skillet and let rest for a minute. Serve warm with a drizzle of maple syrup or your preferred dipping sauce.

Notes

  • Use slightly stale bread for better rolling and less tearing.
  • Flatten bread well for even cooking and smooth roll ups.
  • Drain sausage grease thoroughly to keep roll ups crispy.
  • Cook over medium heat to avoid burning the egg coating.
  • Secure roll ups with toothpicks to maintain shape during cooking.
  • Can be customized easily with cheese, spices, or alternative fillings.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator up to 3 days or freeze up to 2 months.
  • Reheat in toaster oven or conventional oven to retain crispiness; avoid microwave reheating.
