Sausage French Toast Roll-Ups
These Sausage French Toast Roll-Ups are your new favorite morning mash-up! Think savory sausage wrapped in soft bread, dipped in cinnamon-vanilla custard, and cooked until golden brown—just like French toast. They’re warm, slightly crisp on the outside, and bursting with cozy flavor in every bite.
Perfect for busy weekdays, brunch spreads, or a kid-friendly breakfast treat that feels special but comes together in no time.
Ingredients
- 10 slices sandwich bread
- 10 cooked sausage links (pork or turkey, your choice)
- 3 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon milk
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- Unsalted butter (as needed for cooking)
Optional Toppings:
- Maple syrup
- Powdered sugar
- Fresh fruit
Instructions
1. Prep the Bread
- Use a rolling pin to flatten each slice of sandwich bread.
- Trim off the crusts for clean, easy rolling.
2. Add the Sausage & Roll
- Place a cooked sausage link at one edge of each slice and roll it up tightly.
- Repeat for all slices.
3. Make the Custard
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, cinnamon, and vanilla extract until smooth.
4. Dip & Cook
- Dip each roll-up into the egg mixture, coating evenly.
- Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and add a pat of butter.
- Cook the roll-ups, turning every 1–2 minutes, until golden brown on all sides (about 6–8 minutes total).
5. Serve Warm
- Serve immediately with maple syrup, a sprinkle of powdered sugar, or fresh berries on the side.
Notes
- Make sure the sausage is fully cooked before assembling.
- Use day-old or slightly dry bread for better texture—it soaks up the custard without getting soggy.
- Want extra crisp? Cook in a bit more butter or give a final toast in the oven.
