Instructions

If using raw sausage, cook according to package directions until browned and cooked through. Set aside.
In a shallow dish, whisk together eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla extract, and cinnamon (if using) until well combined.
Trim the crusts from the bread slices. Using a rolling pin, flatten each slice of bread thinly.
Place one cooked sausage link at one end of a flattened bread slice. Roll the bread tightly around the sausage. Repeat with remaining bread and sausage.
Heat butter or oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Dip each roll-up into the egg mixture, ensuring all sides are coated. Allow any excess batter to drip off.
Carefully place the coated roll-ups seam-side down in the hot skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, turning gently with tongs, until golden brown and cooked through.
Remove from skillet and serve immediately, drizzled with warm maple syrup and garnished with fresh chives.

Notes

For best results, use slightly stale bread as it absorbs the egg batter better without becoming soggy.

Pre-cooked chicken or turkey breakfast sausages save time and ensure even cooking.

These roll-ups can be prepared ahead of time and reheated gently in an oven or air fryer.

Experiment with a sprinkle of powdered sugar instead of chives for a sweeter presentation.

Consider adding a dash of nutmeg to the French toast batter for extra warmth.
