🔪 Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Egg Mixture

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together:
    3 large eggs
    1 tbsp whole milk
    ½ tsp cinnamon
    ¼ tsp nutmeg
    ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • Set aside.

Step 2: Flatten & Trim the Bread

  • Use a rolling pin to flatten each slice of bread until thin and even.
  • Trim off the crusts to create clean edges.

Step 3: Roll with Sausage

  • Place a fully cooked sausage link on one edge of a flattened bread slice.
  • Roll the bread tightly around the sausage, pressing the seam gently to seal.
  • Repeat for all slices.

Step 4: Dip & Coat

  • Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and melt a small amount of butter.
  • One at a time, dip the prepared roll-ups into the egg mixture, ensuring they’re fully coated.
  • Let any excess batter drip off before transferring to the skillet.

Step 5: Cook to Golden Perfection

  • Place coated roll-ups in the skillet.
  • Cook, turning frequently, until golden brown and crisp on all sides, about 2–3 minutes per side.
  • Work in batches if needed, adding more butter as necessary.

Step 6: Serve & Enjoy!

  • Remove from the skillet and serve warm.
  • Pair with maple syrup or a sprinkle of powdered sugar for the perfect finish!

🔥 Pro Tips for Success

Use Soft Bread: Fresh, soft white bread rolls up more easily.
Don’t Over-Dip: Quickly dip roll-ups in the egg mixture—don’t let them soak!
Press the Seams: Gently press the edges of the roll-ups to help them hold their shape while cooking.
Experiment with Fillings: Swap sausage for crispy bacon, scrambled eggs, or Nutella!


🍷 Perfect Pairings

Drink: Serve with fresh coffee, chai latte, or a fruit smoothie.
🍓 Side Dish: Pair with a fresh fruit salad or Greek yogurt for a balanced meal.


Common Mistakes to Avoid

🚫 Skipping the Butter: A little butter in the pan creates the perfect crispy golden crust.
🚫 Overstuffing: Too much filling can cause the roll-ups to unravel while cooking.
🚫 Using Stale Bread: Soft bread works best—stale or dry bread won't roll well.


FAQs

💬 Can I make these ahead of time?
Yes! Assemble and refrigerate overnight, then cook in the morning.

💬 How do I store leftovers?
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet or air fryer for the best texture.

💬 Can I freeze these?
Absolutely! Freeze uncooked roll-ups, then dip and cook as needed.

💬 Can I use whole wheat bread?
Yes, but it may be harder to roll. Try slightly warming the bread to make it more pliable.
