Main Ingredients
- 6 slices white bread, crusts removed
- 4 breakfast sausage links, pre-cooked and seasoned
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 tablespoons butter or oil for frying
- Maple syrup (optional, for serving)
- Prepare Your Ingredients: Remove crusts from bread slices for easy rolling. Cook breakfast sausage thoroughly if not pre-cooked, then allow it to cool slightly. Whisk together eggs, milk, and a dash of cinnamon in a shallow bowl to create the French toast soak.
- Flatten the Bread: Use a rolling pin to gently flatten each bread slice to about 1/4 inch thick, making it pliable and allowing it to soak up the egg mixture evenly without tearing.
- Roll Up the Sausage: Place a sausage link or a spoonful of sausage in one corner of the flattened bread slice. Roll tightly around the sausage, tucking the edges underneath to seal and prevent filling from escaping during cooking.
- Dip in Egg Mixture: Dip each roll-up into the egg and milk mixture, soaking enough to coat but not so much that the bread falls apart.
- Fry Until Golden: Heat butter or oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook roll-ups seam-side down first, turning occasionally, about 3 to 4 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.
- Sprinkle Cinnamon Sugar: While warm, roll the cooked French toast roll-ups in a mixture of cinnamon and sugar for a sweet, crunchy exterior.
Notes
- Do not skip flattening the bread; it helps in rolling and soaking the egg mixture evenly.
- Seal edges tightly to prevent sausage from leaking during cooking.
- Ensure sausage is fully cooked before rolling to avoid raw spots.
- Cook over medium heat to avoid burning and to cook the egg through properly.
- Serve immediately for best texture and flavor.
