Learn how to make delicious Sausage French Toast Roll-ups. Easy recipe with step-by-step instructions.

Ingredients

Scale

  • 8 slices of white sandwich bread (crusts removed for easy rolling; you can substitute whole wheat for a nuttier flavor)
  • 1/2 pound breakfast sausage (I prefer a mild pork sausage, but spicy or turkey sausage works well too)
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup whole milk (feel free to use almond or oat milk for a dairy-free option)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (for frying; coconut oil is a fine alternative)
  • Maple syrup, for serving
  • Powdered sugar, optional for dusting
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Start by cooking the sausage in a skillet over medium heat. Break it up gently with a wooden spoon until fully browned and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Drain excess fat on paper towels and set aside to cool slightly.
  2. While the sausage cooks, prepare your bread by trimming off the crusts. This step makes rolling much easier, just like Mama Lu would do when she made her famous cornbread fingers.
  3. In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt until well combined. This mixture is your golden bath for the bread.
  4. Flatten each bread slice slightly with a rolling pin to make it more pliable. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of cooked sausage onto one end of the bread slice and roll it up tightly, tucking the sausage inside. Repeat with remaining slices.
  5. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Dip each roll-up into the egg mixture, rolling it to coat all sides thoroughly, then place it seam side down in the skillet to seal it shut.
  6. Cook the roll-ups for about 2-3 minutes per side until they’re golden brown and slightly crisp on the outside, adding more butter as needed. The smell will transport you right back to those farmhouse mornings spent with Mama Lu.
  7. Transfer cooked roll-ups to a warm plate and dust lightly with powdered sugar if desired. Serve immediately with a drizzle of maple syrup for that perfect balance of sweet and savory.
