Ingredients

Scale

Bread & Sausage

  • 8 slices of bread (white or whole wheat)
  • 8 breakfast sausage links

Egg Mixture

  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon

For Cooking & Serving

  • 1 tablespoon butter (for cooking)
  • Maple syrup (for serving)
  • Powdered sugar (for dusting, optional)

Instructions

  1. Cook the Sausages: In a skillet or pan, cook the breakfast sausage links according to the package instructions until they are fully browned and cooked through. Set them aside to cool slightly.
  2. Prepare the Bread: While sausages are cooking, remove the crusts from the bread slices. Use a rolling pin to flatten each piece of bread into a thin, even layer, making them easy to roll.
  3. Make the Egg Mixture: In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and cinnamon until well blended. This will serve as the French toast coating.
  4. Assemble the Roll-Ups: Place one cooked sausage link at the edge of a flattened bread slice and roll it up tightly. Secure with a toothpick if needed. Repeat the process with all bread slices and sausages.
  5. Dip the Roll-Ups: Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Dip each bread-wrapped sausage roll-up into the egg mixture, ensuring all sides are coated thoroughly but not soaked.
  6. Cook the Roll-Ups: Place the coated roll-ups in the skillet. Cook, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown on all sides and the egg is cooked through, about 3-4 minutes. Remove toothpicks if used.
  7. Serve: Serve the sausage French Toast Roll-Ups warm, drizzled with maple syrup and dusted with powdered sugar if desired for extra sweetness.

Notes

  • Use stale bread for easier rolling and to prevent sogginess.
  • Try different types of sausage (turkey, chicken, or vegetarian) for variety.
  • Make ahead: Roll up the bread and sausage the night before, then dip and fry in the morning.
  • Add a pinch of nutmeg to the egg mixture for extra flavor.
