Ingredients
Scale
- 8 slices of bread (white or whole wheat): The foundation of the roll-ups, use high-quality bread for a better texture. Whole wheat adds a nuttier flavor while offering more nutrients.
- 8 breakfast turkey sausage links: These replace traditional pork sausage, ensuring a healthier option without sacrificing taste or texture. If you’re aiming for lower-fat choices, look for turkey breakfast links that are lower in sodium.
- 4 large eggs: The binding agent in this recipe, eggs add protein and richness. If you’re looking for an egg substitute, consider using flaxseed meal mixed with water.
- ½ cup milk: Whole milk lends creaminess to the egg mixture. For a lactose-free option, substitute with almond milk or oat milk.
- 1 tsp vanilla extract: This adds a hint of sweetness and rich flavor, enhancing the overall taste of the French toast.
Instructions
- Preheat your griddle or skillet: Set it over medium heat. This ensures an even cooking surface for your roll-ups.
- Assemble the roll-ups: Take one turkey sausage link and place it on a slice of bread. Roll the bread tightly around the sausage, ensuring that it is securely wrapped. Repeat for all sausage links and slices of bread.
- Prepare the egg mixture: In a bowl, whisk together 4 large eggs, ½ cup milk, and 1 tsp vanilla extract until smooth. This mixture will coat the roll-ups and lock in moisture.
- Dip each roll-up: Carefully dip each bread-wrapped sausage into the egg mixture, making sure it’s fully coated for that delicious eggy flavor.
- Cook the roll-ups: Place the coated roll-ups onto the preheated griddle. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and crispy. Flip gently to ensure even cooking.
- Serve warm: Once cooked, remove the roll-ups from the griddle and serve immediately. Top with syrup, powdered sugar, fresh fruits, or your favorite toppings!
