Description
These easy French Toast Roll-Ups are a fun handheld breakfast made with soft bread wrapped around savory sausage links, dipped in a sweet cinnamon vanilla batter, and cooked until golden brown. Perfect for busy mornings, brunches, or freezer-friendly meal prep.
Ingredients
- 10 slices soft sandwich bread
- 10 fully cooked sausage links
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons butter, for greasing the skillet
- Maple syrup, for serving
Instructions
- Flatten each slice of bread using a rolling pin or the palm of your hand. Trim crusts if desired.
- Place one cooked sausage link on the edge of each bread slice and roll tightly. Set seam-side down.
- In a shallow dish, whisk together eggs, milk, sugar, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and flour until smooth.
- Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and grease with butter.
- Dip each roll-up into the egg mixture, coating all sides evenly.
- Allow excess batter to drip off before placing the roll-up onto the hot skillet.
- Cook for several minutes, turning gently every minute, until all sides are golden brown and slightly crisp.
- Transfer to a serving plate and serve warm with maple syrup for dipping.
Notes
- Soft sandwich bread works best because it rolls easily without cracking.
- Flattening the bread helps the roll-ups stay tightly sealed.
- Cooked sausage links should be fully cooled before rolling to avoid tearing the bread.
- Do not overcrowd the skillet to ensure even browning.
- The flour in the batter helps create a thicker coating for crispier roll-ups.
- These roll-ups freeze well and can be reheated directly from frozen.
- Serve with fresh fruit, yogurt, or scrambled eggs for a complete breakfast.
