Ingredients
Scale
Bread and Sausage
- 8 slices of bread (white, whole wheat, or brioche)
- 8 cooked sausage links (your preferred type)
Egg Mixture
- 2 large eggs
- ¼ cup milk
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
For Cooking and Serving
- Butter (for frying)
- Maple syrup (for serving)
- Powdered sugar (for serving)
Instructions
- Cook the sausages: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage links thoroughly until fully cooked and browned. Remove them from the skillet and set aside to cool slightly.
- Prepare the bread: Trim the crusts off each bread slice. Then, using a rolling pin, flatten each slice evenly to make it easier to roll up.
- Assemble the roll-ups: Place one cooked sausage link at one end of each flattened bread slice, then roll the bread tightly around the sausage to form a neat roll.
- Make the egg batter: In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, ground cinnamon, and optional vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Heat the pan: Warm a skillet over medium heat and add a small amount of butter to coat the surface.
- Dip and fry the roll-ups: Dip each bread roll-up into the egg mixture, ensuring it is fully coated with the batter. Place the coated roll-ups in the hot skillet.
- Cook evenly: Fry the roll-ups, turning occasionally, until all sides turn golden brown and slightly crisped.
- Serve: Serve the sausage French toast roll-ups warm, drizzled with maple syrup or dusted with powdered sugar as desired.
Notes
- You can use white, whole wheat, or brioche bread depending on your preference.
- Any type of cooked sausage works well — pork, turkey, or chicken sausage are great options.
- Ensure sausages are fully cooked before rolling to avoid undercooked meat inside.
- The vanilla extract is optional but adds a subtle sweetness and aroma to the egg batter.
- Serve immediately for best texture; reheat gently if needed.
