Ingredients
- 8 slices sandwich bread (white or whole wheat)
- 8 fully cooked breakfast sausage links
- 2 large eggs
- ¼ cup milk
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- Butter or oil for frying
- Maple syrup or powdered sugar, for serving
How Do You Make Sausage French Toast Roll-Ups?
Step 1: Start by prepping your bread. Trim the crusts off each slice, then use a rolling pin to flatten them out. Soft, thin sandwich bread works best here—it rolls up nice and easy!
Step 2: Place a cooked sausage link at the edge of each flattened bread slice and roll it up tightly. Press to seal the edge.
Step 3: In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, cinnamon, and vanilla until well combined.
Step 4: Dip each roll-up into the egg mixture, coating all sides but not soaking them—just enough to cover.
Step 5: Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a bit of butter or oil. Place the roll-ups seam-side down and cook, turning occasionally, until every side is golden brown and crisp.
Step 6: Remove from the skillet and serve warm. Drizzle with maple syrup or dust with powdered sugar for a sweet finish.

Tips for the Perfect Sausage French Toast Roll-Ups
- Choose the right bread: Soft, thin sandwich bread is best. Thick or dense bread can crack or get soggy.
- Use fully cooked sausage: Make sure your sausage links are cooked through before rolling. If you’re using raw sausage, brown them first!
- Don’t oversoak: Dip the roll-ups quickly in the egg mixture—just enough to coat, not drench.
- Cook seam-side down first: This helps seal the roll and keeps everything together as it cooks.
- Serve immediately: These are best hot and fresh, with a drizzle of syrup or a sprinkle of powdered sugar.

Customizing Your Sausage French Toast Roll-Ups
