???? Ingredients (Makes 12 Roll-Ups)
For the Roll-Ups:
- White sandwich bread (soft, no crust) – 12 slices (480g)
- Breakfast sausage links (fully cooked or pre-cooked) – 12 links (300g)
- Eggs – 3 large (150g)
- Milk – 120ml
- Ground cinnamon – 1 tsp (2g)
- Vanilla extract – 1 tsp (5ml)
- Salt – a pinch
- Butter – 2 tbsp (30g), for pan-frying
Optional for Coating:
- Granulated sugar – 50g (¼ cup)
- Ground cinnamon – 1 tsp (2g)
???????? Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Bread
- Trim the crusts off each bread slice (if not already done).
- Flatten each slice gently with a rolling pin to make it easy to roll.
Step 2: Add the Sausage
- Place one sausage link at the edge of each bread slice.
- Roll the bread around the sausage tightly and seal the edge with a dab of water if needed.
Step 3: Make the French Toast Mixture
- In a shallow bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, cinnamon, vanilla, and a pinch of salt.
Step 4: Dip & Cook
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat and melt butter.
- Dip each roll-up in the egg mixture, ensuring it’s fully coated but not soggy.
- Place them seam-side down in the pan and cook until golden brown on all sides — about 2–3 minutes per side.
Step 5: Optional Cinnamon Sugar Coating
- In a shallow dish, mix the sugar and cinnamon.
- While the roll-ups are still warm, toss them in the cinnamon sugar for a sweet finish.

- Add cheese – For a cheesy surprise, tuck a small slice of cheddar inside the roll before rolling it up.
- Meal prep approved – Freeze after cooking and reheat in the oven or air fryer for a crisp finish.
