Sausage French Toast Roll-Ups wrap breakfast sausages in cinnamon French toast bread for a fun sweet and savory breakfast or brunch.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 slices white or whole wheat sandwich bread, day old if possible
- 8 breakfast sausage links, cooked
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Pinch of salt (optional)
- 1 tablespoon butter, for cooking (plus more as needed)
- Maple syrup, for serving
- Powdered sugar, for dusting (optional)
Instructions
- Cook the breakfast sausage links in a skillet over medium heat according to the package directions, turning often until browned and cooked through. Transfer the sausages to a plate and let them cool slightly.
- While the sausages cook, trim the crusts from each slice of bread. Use a rolling pin to gently flatten each slice into a thin rectangle so it is easy to roll.
- In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt if using, until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Place one cooked sausage link along the short edge of a slice of flattened bread. Roll the bread tightly around the sausage, pressing the seam gently to help it seal. Secure with a toothpick if needed.
- Repeat with the remaining slices of bread and sausages until you have 8 uncooked roll-ups.
- Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Let it melt and swirl it around to coat the bottom of the pan.
- Working in batches so you do not crowd the pan, dip each roll-up into the egg mixture, turning to coat all sides. Let any excess drip back into the bowl, then place the roll-up seam side down in the hot skillet.
- Cook the Sausage French Toast Roll-Ups for about 3 to 4 minutes per side, turning with tongs so all sides become golden brown and lightly crisp. Add more butter to the pan as needed between batches.
- Transfer cooked roll-ups to a plate and remove any toothpicks before serving. Continue dipping and cooking the remaining roll-ups until all are done.
- Serve the Sausage French Toast Roll-Ups warm with maple syrup for dipping or drizzling and a light dusting of powdered sugar if desired.
Notes
- Storage: Let leftover roll-ups cool completely, then store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a 350 degree F oven for 8 to 10 minutes or in a dry skillet over medium low heat until warmed through. Avoid microwaving if possible, since it can make the bread soft and chewy instead of crisp.
- Substitutions: Use turkey, chicken, or vegetarian breakfast sausage in place of pork links. Swap white bread for whole wheat or brioche if you prefer. Add a sprinkle of shredded cheddar or pepper Jack cheese inside each roll before wrapping for a melty, savory center.
- Make Ahead: Assemble the Sausage French Toast Roll-Ups up to 24 hours in advance and refrigerate them on a tray covered tightly with plastic wrap. Dip in the egg mixture and cook just before serving. You can also freeze un-dipped, assembled roll-ups for up to 3 months, then thaw in the refrigerator before dipping and cooking.
- Tips: Use day old bread for easier rolling and better texture. Do not soak the roll-ups in the egg mixture, a quick dip on all sides is enough. Keep the skillet over medium heat so the outside browns evenly without burning before the custard cooks.
