French Toast Sausage Rollups
Description
The French Toast Sausage Rollups start with cooking breakfast sausage links until browned and fully cooked. Each sausage is then rolled inside a slice of soft white sandwich bread, which has had its crust removed and been flattened for easy rolling. This roll is dipped in a blend of eggs, milk, ground cinnamon, and vanilla extract that imparts subtle sweet and warm spice notes. Cooking the rollups in melted butter until each side turns golden develops a gentle crispness on the bread's exterior without drying it out, while keeping the sausage juicy inside. The final dish is best served warm alongside maple syrup or pancake syrup, adding a sweet contrast that complements the savory sausage and spiced egg coating.
These rollups can be appealing for a breakfast or brunch where handheld convenience is desirable. The cooking and preparation steps ensure even cooking of both bread and sausage combined. Cinnamon and vanilla bring classic French toast flavors to the savory sausage, creating a pleasant fusion.
Ingredients
- 8-10 sausage uncooked, breakfast, links
- 8-10 lices white sandwich bread soft and fluffy works best, or wheat sandwich bread
- 2 egg
- ¼ cup milk
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2-3 tablespoon butter for greasing the pan
- maple syrup for serving, or pancake syrup
Instructions
- In a large pan over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage until golden brown and cooked through, rotating frequently so that all sides are cooked. Set aside to cool slightly.
- Slice the crusts off of the bread.
- Whisk the eggs, milk, cinnamon, and vanilla extract together in a small, shallow bowl.
- Take the bread slices and use your hand to flatten each one against a hard surface. (You can use a rolling pin be careful not to make it too flat.)
- Take a sausage link and place it at one end of the bread. Carefully roll the bread into a cylinder. Give it a little squeeze to secure it in place and set it aside, seam side down.
- Dip the rolled bread into the egg mixture until each side is coated.
- Melt the butter over medium heat in the same skillet that you used to cook the sausage. Place each sausage rollup, seam side-down, in the warm butter. Rotate gently as each side gets to be golden brown.
- Once the bread is cooked through and browned, remove and serve with syrup for dipping!
