Ingredients You’ll Need

8 cooked breakfast sausage links (pork or turkey, your call!)
2 large eggs
¼ cup milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
½ tsp ground cinnamon
2 tbsp sugar (plus more for optional coating)
2 tbsp butter (for the skillet)
Maple syrup (for dipping – optional, but recommended!)

Tools You’ll Need

Rolling pin
Mixing bowl
Shallow dish (for egg mix)
Skillet or frying pan
Spatula or tongs
Paper towels for draining (if needed)

Additions & Substitutions

Additions:

Spread a little cream cheese on the bread before rolling.
Add a thin layer of apricot jam or honey for extra flavor.

How to Make Sausage French Toast Roll-Ups

Step-by-Step Instructions:

Trim the crusts from each slice of bread. Roll flat with a rolling pin.
Place a cooked sausage link on one end and roll the bread tightly around it.
In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, vanilla, cinnamon, and sugar.
Dip each roll-up into the egg mixture, coating all sides.
Heat butter in a skillet over medium heat. Place roll-ups seam-side down and cook until golden brown on all sides, turning gently.
Optional: Roll in cinnamon sugar while still warm for an extra treat!
Serve immediately with warm maple syrup, honey, or fruit preserves.

What to Serve With These Roll-Ups

Fresh fruit salad (think berries or sliced oranges)
Scrambled eggs or a soft cheese omelet
Greek yogurt parfaits with granola
Iced coffee or mimosas (you choose the vibe 😉)

Tips for Perfect Roll-Ups

Don’t skip flattening the bread—this helps it seal and crisp up beautifully!
Make sure your sausage links are fully cooked before rolling.
Want extra crunch? Use day-old bread—it soaks less and crisps more.
You can prep the roll-ups the night before and refrigerate. Just cook fresh in the morning.

Storage Instructions

Fridge: Store cooked roll-ups in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer for best texture.

Freezer: Freeze in a single layer, then store in a freezer bag. Reheat directly from frozen—no thawing needed!

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Can I use sausage patties instead of links?

You can, but links are easier to roll. If using patties, slice into strips first.

Can I bake these instead of frying?

Yes! Bake at 375°F (190°C) for about 12–15 minutes, flipping halfway through.

Can I use flavored sausages?

Absolutely. Maple or apple sausages work beautifully here!
