Ingredients
Scale
Sausage Filling
- 1 lb breakfast sausage (consider turkey or vegetarian options)
Egg Mixture
- 4 large eggs (opt for organic for extra flavor)
- 1 cup milk (whole, skim, or plant-based)
Roll Ups
- 8 slices thick-cut bread (provides structure for rolling)
Toppings
- ½ cup maple syrup (enhances sweetness)
- powdered sugar (optional for dusting)
Instructions
- Cook the sausage: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage until browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Once cooked, remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
- Prepare the egg mixture: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until fully combined and smooth.
- Flatten the bread slices: Using a rolling pin, flatten each slice of thick-cut bread to make them easier to roll.
- Assemble the roll ups: Place a small amount of the cooked sausage onto each flattened bread slice, then roll them tightly to enclose the filling.
- Dip the rolls: Quickly dip each sausage-filled bread roll into the egg mixture, making sure all sides are coated well.
- Fry the roll ups: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add oil if necessary. Fry each roll up until golden brown on all sides, approximately 2-3 minutes per side.
- Serve: Dust the fried roll ups with powdered sugar if desired, drizzle with maple syrup, or enjoy them as is for a delicious breakfast delight.
Notes
- For a healthier option, use turkey sausage or a vegetarian sausage alternative.
- You can substitute plant-based milk to make this recipe dairy-free.
- Make sure rolls are tightly rolled to prevent leakage of sausage during frying.
- Serve immediately for the best taste and texture.
- Leftovers can be reheated gently in a skillet or microwave but are best enjoyed fresh.
