These Sausage-Stuffed French Toast Roll-Ups combine the best of both worlds: a crispy, golden exterior and a cheesy, savory filling. The fluffy cream cheese and cheddar mixture with crumbled sausage provides the perfect bite inside the tender French toast roll, while the outside stays wonderfully crispy from the egg coating.
- Ingredients:
- 4 slices thick-cut bread (preferably day-old or slightly stale)
- 2 breakfast sausage links, cooked and crumbled
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons butter (for frying)
- Maple syrup (for drizzling, optional)
- Powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)
Directions:
- Start by cooking the sausage links in a skillet over medium heat until browned and fully cooked. Crumble the sausage into small pieces and set aside to cool.
- In a small bowl, mix the softened cream cheese and shredded cheddar cheese until well combined. Stir in the crumbled sausage.
- Trim the crusts off the bread slices and gently roll each slice flat with a rolling pin.
- Spread a generous spoonful of the sausage-cream cheese mixture onto each slice of bread and roll them up tightly.
- In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, cinnamon, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the butter to coat the bottom of the pan.
- Dip each rolled-up sandwich into the egg mixture, coating all sides evenly, and then place them in the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Remove the roll-ups from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess butter.
- Serve hot, drizzled with maple syrup and a dusting of powdered sugar if desired.
