Remove crusts from bread slices and flatten each slice with rolling pin.

Cook breakfast sausage links according to package directions until golden brown.

Brush flattened bread slices lightly with softened butter on one side.

Sprinkle buttered bread with cinnamon-sugar mixture for extra sweetness.

Place one cooked sausage link at edge of each flattened bread slice.

Drizzle sausages lightly with maple syrup and sprinkle with sage.

Roll bread tightly around sausage, sealing seam with gentle pressure.

Secure each roll-up with toothpick to prevent unrolling during cooking.

Whisk together eggs, milk, cream, maple syrup, and vanilla for custard.

Add cinnamon and pinch of salt to custard mixture, whisking until smooth.

Mix granulated sugar with cinnamon and nutmeg in shallow plate for coating.

Heat butter and oil in large griddle or skillet over medium heat.

Dip each roll-up in custard batter, coating all sides thoroughly.

Roll coated roll-ups in cinnamon sugar mixture for extra crunch.

Place roll-ups seam-side down in heated skillet to seal properly.

Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, turning carefully to brown all surfaces.

Total cooking time should be 8-10 minutes for golden brown exterior.

Remove toothpicks carefully once roll-ups are fully cooked and set.

Let rest for 2 minutes to allow custard to finish setting inside.

Warm maple syrup with butter for rich serving sauce.

Dust finished roll-ups with powdered sugar before plating.

Garnish with fresh berries, chopped pecans, and mint if desired.

Serve immediately while exterior is crispy and interior is warm.

Provide warm maple butter sauce alongside for dipping or drizzling.
