Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 8 slices of bread (white, whole wheat, or brioche)
- 8 cooked sausage links (use your preferred type of sausage)
- 2 large eggs
- ¼ cup milk
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
- Butter (for frying)
- Maple syrup (for serving)
- Powdered sugar (for serving)
Instructions
- Cook the Sausage: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage links thoroughly until they are fully cooked inside. Once done, set them aside to cool slightly so they are easier to handle during rolling.
- Prepare the Bread: Trim the crusts off each slice of bread. Then, use a rolling pin to flatten each slice, making it more pliable for rolling around the sausage links.
- Roll the Sausage in Bread: Place one cooked sausage link at one end of a flattened bread slice. Carefully roll the bread around the sausage tightly to form a roll-up.
- Make the Egg Mixture: In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, ground cinnamon, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Heat the Skillet: Warm a skillet over medium heat and add a small amount of butter, allowing it to melt and coat the pan evenly.
- Dip and Fry Roll-Ups: Dip each bread roll-up thoroughly into the egg mixture, ensuring all surfaces are coated. Place the coated roll-up into the heated skillet.
- Cook Until Golden Brown: Fry the roll-ups, turning occasionally to cook all sides evenly, until they develop a golden-brown crust.
- Serve: Serve the sausage French toast roll-ups warm, drizzled with maple syrup and optionally dusted with powdered sugar for added sweetness and presentation.
Notes
- Use brioche or whole wheat bread for richer flavor and better texture.
- Ensure sausage links are fully cooked before rolling to prevent undercooked meat.
- For a crispy exterior, do not skip flattening the bread slices.
- Adjust cinnamon and vanilla to taste for desired sweetness and aroma.
- Serve immediately after cooking for best texture and flavor.
- Can be made ahead and reheated in a skillet or oven.
