👩🍳 Directions
Step 1: Cook the Sausages
Cook the chicken breakfast sausages in a skillet over medium heat until fully cooked and lightly browned. Remove from heat and set aside.
Step 2: Prepare the Bread
Remove the crusts from the bread slices. Use a rolling pin to gently flatten each slice into a thin rectangle.
Step 3: Roll the Sausage
Place one cooked sausage at one end of each bread slice. Roll the bread tightly around the sausage and gently press the seam to seal.
Step 4: Make the Batter
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and cinnamon until smooth.
Step 5: Dip the Roll-Ups
Dip each roll-up into the egg mixture, coating all sides evenly without soaking too long.
Step 6: Cook the Roll-Ups
Heat butter in a skillet over medium heat. Place the roll-ups seam-side down and cook, turning gently, until all sides are golden brown—about 2–3 minutes per side.
Step 7: Finish and Serve
Remove from the skillet and place on a plate. Dust lightly with powdered sugar if desired.
