In a large pan over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage until golden brown and cooked through, rotating frequently so that all sides are cooked. Set aside to cool slightly.

Slice the crusts off of the bread.

Whisk the eggs, milk, cinnamon, and vanilla extract together in a small, shallow bowl.

Take the bread slices and use your hand to flatten each one against a hard surface.

Take a sausage link and place it at one end of the bread. Carefully roll the bread into a cylinder. Give it a little squeeze to secure it in place and set it aside, seam side down.

Dip the rolled bread into the egg mixture until each side is coated.

Melt the butter over medium heat in the same skillet that you used to cook the sausage. Place each sausage rollup, seam side-down, in the warm butter. Rotate gently as each side gets to be golden brown.

Once the bread is cooked through and browned, remove and serve with syrup for dipping!
