These French Toast Sausage Rollups are the perfect combination of sweet and savory, featuring fluffy bread, juicy sausage, and a golden cinnamon-vanilla coating. An easy breakfast or brunch option that’s sure to please!

Ingredients

8-10 breakfast sausage links (uncooked)
8-10 slices white or wheat sandwich bread (soft and fluffy works best)
2 eggs
¼ cup milk
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2-3 tablespoons butter (for greasing the pan)
Maple or pancake syrup (for serving)

Instructions

Cook the Sausage
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the sausage links until browned and cooked through, turning frequently to ensure even cooking. Remove from the pan and set aside to cool slightly.
Prepare the Bread
- Slice the crusts off the bread. Flatten each slice using your hand or a rolling pin, being careful not to over-flatten.
Make the Egg Mixture
- In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, cinnamon, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Assemble the Rollups
- Place a sausage link at one end of a slice of bread. Roll the bread tightly around the sausage to form a cylinder. Squeeze gently to secure, and place seam-side down. Repeat with the remaining bread and sausages.
Dip and Cook
- Dip each rollup into the egg mixture, ensuring all sides are coated.
- Melt butter in the skillet over medium heat. Place the rollups seam-side down in the skillet. Cook, rotating gently, until all sides are golden brown and the bread is cooked through.
Serve
- Serve the warm rollups with maple syrup or pancake syrup for dipping.
