Description
Sausage French Toast Roll-Ups combine the comforting flavors of breakfast sausage and classic French toast in a fun, handheld form. Soft sandwich bread is flattened, filled with cooked sausage links, rolled, dipped in a sweet cinnamon-spiced egg mixture, and pan-fried until golden and crispy. These roll-ups make for a delicious breakfast or brunch option, served warm with maple syrup or a dusting of powdered sugar.
Ingredients
Scale
Roll-Ups
- 8 slices soft sandwich bread, crusts removed
- 8 cooked breakfast sausage links
Egg Mixture
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
Cooking
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Serving
- Maple syrup or powdered sugar for serving
Instructions
- Flatten the Bread: Use a rolling pin to flatten each slice of bread to make it thin and pliable for rolling.
- Assemble Roll-Ups: Place one cooked sausage link at one end of the flattened bread slice, then roll the bread tightly around the sausage to form a compact roll-up.
- Prepare Egg Mixture: In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, vanilla extract, and granulated sugar until smooth and combined.
- Heat Butter: Melt the unsalted butter in a large skillet over medium heat to prepare for frying.
- Dip Roll-Ups: Dip each sausage roll-up into the egg mixture, making sure to coat all sides thoroughly for maximum flavor and browning.
- Cook Roll-Ups: Place the coated roll-ups seam-side down in the hot skillet. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Serve: Remove from the skillet and serve warm with maple syrup or a light dusting of powdered sugar for a sweet finish.
Notes
- For a savory twist, sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese inside the bread before rolling the sausage links.
- You can prepare these roll-ups a day ahead, refrigerate them, and cook fresh in the morning for a quick breakfast.
