Instructions

Prepare the bread: Trim the crusts off each slice of bread and flatten the slices with a rolling pin to make them easier to roll around the sausage links.
Roll the sausage: Place one fully cooked sausage link at the edge of each flattened bread slice and roll it tightly around the sausage. Place each roll-up seam-side down on a plate or tray to prevent them from unrolling.
Mix the egg wash: In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, cinnamon, and vanilla extract until well combined to create a flavorful egg mixture.
Coat the roll-ups: Dip each sausage bread roll-up into the egg mixture, ensuring all sides are thoroughly coated for even cooking and flavor.
Heat the skillet: Warm a skillet or frying pan over medium heat and melt the butter to prepare for cooking the roll-ups.
Cook the roll-ups: Place the coated roll-ups seam-side down in the skillet first to seal them, then turn occasionally to brown all sides evenly. Cook them until the bread is golden brown and cooked through, approximately 3-4 minutes per side.
Serve warm: Remove the roll-ups from the skillet and serve immediately with maple syrup for dipping, enhancing the sweet and savory experience.

Notes

Using fully cooked sausage links saves time and ensures they are safely heated through.
Removing the crusts and flattening the bread helps create a smooth roll around the sausage without tearing.
For variation, try using flavored syrup or adding a sprinkle of powdered sugar on top.
These roll-ups can be kept warm in a low oven if preparing for a crowd.
To make ahead, roll the bread and sausage and refrigerate, then dip in egg and cook just before serving.
