Ingredients
- 8 slices of white or whole wheat bread, crusts removed
- 8 breakfast sausages, cooked
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons butter
- Maple syrup, for serving
- Powdered sugar, for dusting (optional)
Feel free to substitute the sausages with your favorite vegetarian version, or try brioche bread for a richer texture. The recipe is wonderfully adaptable, much like my mum’s crumbles, which she would tweak based on the fruits of the season.
Instructions
- Start by cooking the sausages in a pan over medium heat until they are fully cooked and golden brown, about 10 minutes. Set them aside on a plate lined with paper towels.
- Flatten each slice of bread with a rolling pin until thin. Place a cooked sausage at the edge of each slice and roll the bread around it, securing the end with a little pressure.
- In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon until well combined.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat and melt the butter. Dip each roll-up in the egg mixture, ensuring it is fully coated.
- Place the roll-ups seam side down in the skillet. Cook until golden brown on all sides, about 2-3 minutes per side, adding more butter if needed.
- Once cooked, transfer the roll-ups to a serving plate. Dust with powdered sugar if desired and serve immediately with maple syrup on the side.
Cooking these roll-ups reminds me of the Sunday mornings spent in our cottage, where the crackling fireplace provided the perfect backdrop to our leisurely breakfasts. Take your time with each step, savoring the aromas and textures as they come together.
