Sausage Filling
- 8 oz ground breakfast sausage, seasoned
Bread and Coating
- 8 slices thick white sandwich bread, crusts removed
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional)
For Cooking and Serving
- 2 tablespoons butter or oil, for frying
- Maple syrup or honey, for serving
- Prepare the Sausage Filling: Cook the breakfast sausage in a skillet over medium heat, breaking into small crumbles. Drain excess fat and set aside to cool slightly.
- Prepare the Bread: Trim the crusts from the white bread slices. Using a rolling pin, gently flatten each slice until thin but intact for easy rolling.
- Assemble the Rolls: Place about 2 tablespoons of cooked sausage on one edge of each flattened bread slice. Roll tightly to enclose the filling completely, securing with a toothpick if needed.
- Make the Egg Mixture: In a shallow bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, cinnamon, and nutmeg until well combined.
- Dip and Cook: Dip each roll in the egg mixture, coating all sides thoroughly. Heat butter or oil in a skillet over medium heat, then cook rolls, turning frequently, until golden brown and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes.
- Serve Warm: Let the rolls cool slightly, then serve drizzled with maple syrup or honey, or with syrup on the side for dipping.
Notes
- Use thick, soft white bread for best rolling and egg absorption.
- Drain cooked sausage well to avoid soggy rolls and maintain crispiness.
- Don’t overfill with sausage to prevent leakage during cooking.
- Cook rolls on medium heat to cook through without burning.
- For a healthier option, bake or air fry rolls instead of pan-frying.
