Description

Sausage French Toast Roll-Ups combine savory sausage and classic French toast in a fun, hand-held breakfast that’s ready in under 20 minutes. Crispy on the outside and gooey inside, these are a crowd-pleasing, kid-friendly breakfast treat.

Ingredients

Scale

8 slices sandwich bread (white or whole wheat, crusts trimmed)
8 cooked breakfast sausage links (pork, turkey, chicken, or vegetarian; cooled)
2 large eggs
1/4 cup (60 ml) milk (dairy or unsweetened non-dairy)
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
2 tablespoons (28 g) unsalted butter (for skillet)
Maple syrup (for serving)
Powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)

Instructions

Lay out 8 slices of sandwich bread. Trim off the crusts and gently flatten each slice with a rolling pin or glass.
If using uncooked sausage, cook sausage links in a skillet over medium heat for 6-8 minutes, turning often, until fully cooked. Drain and let cool slightly.
Place one sausage link at the edge of each flattened bread slice. Roll the bread tightly around the sausage, pressing gently to seal the edge.
In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, cinnamon, vanilla, and a pinch of salt. Pour into a shallow dish.
Dip each sausage roll-up into the custard, turning to coat all sides. Let excess drip off.
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon butter and swirl to coat.
Place roll-ups seam-side down in the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, turning until all sides are golden and crisp (about 8 minutes total). Add more butter as needed for remaining batches.
Transfer cooked roll-ups to a plate. Dust with powdered sugar if desired and serve warm with maple syrup for dipping.

Notes

Don’t oversoak the bread in custard—just a quick dip is enough. Use medium heat to avoid burning. For gluten-free or dairy-free versions, substitute bread, sausage, and milk as needed. Keep finished roll-ups warm in a low oven if making large batches. Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 2 months and reheated in the oven.
