French Toast Roll-Ups
Description
French Toast Roll-Ups use slices of bread flattened and wrapped tightly around cooked sausage links. The roll-ups are dipped in a batter made from eggs, milk, sugar, cinnamon, vanilla, and a bit of flour before cooking on a buttered griddle until golden brown on all sides. The egg mixture imparts a custard-like coating to the bread, while the sausage inside adds a savory, meaty element.
This preparation results in a warm, handheld breakfast treat with a balance between sweet and savory flavors. The bread exterior crisps lightly from the griddle heat without becoming tough, complementing the firm texture of the sausage inside.
The roll-ups can be served plain or with syrup, and the recipe suggests several variations involving sweet spreads and fruits to customize the filling. The method allows for making the egg mixture ahead and safely storing cooked leftovers for a couple of days, making it practical for meal prep or quick reheating.
Ingredients
- 10 lices bread
- 10 sausage links fully cooked
- 3 large egg
- 1/2 cup milk
- 3 Tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 Tablespoon all-purpose flour
Instructions
- Use a rolling pin or your hands to flatten the bread (slice crusts off, if desired).
- Place a sausage link on the front edge of the bread and roll up tightly. Set aside.
- Add eggs, milk, sugar, cinnamon, vanilla, and flour to a shallow dish or blender and mix until smooth.
- Preheat griddle or skillet over medium heat. Grease well with butter.
- Dip sausage roll ups into the egg mixture, rolling gently to coat all sides, and then place on hot griddle.
- Cook for a few minutes, turning gently as you go, until golden brown on all sides. Serve warm with syrup.
Notes
- The egg mixture can be prepared up to one day before cooking to save time.
- Cooked roll-ups keep well in the refrigerator for one to two days and reheat easily in a microwave, toaster oven, griddle, or air fryer.
- For freezing, store the roll-ups in a freezer-safe container or bag with minimal air to avoid freezer burn, then reheat using your preferred method.
- Variations include spreading Nutella, cream cheese with diced strawberries or jam, or peanut butter with bananas inside the bread before rolling and cooking.
