When I'm craving something sweet and salty for breakfast, these Sausage French Toast Roll-Ups totally hit the spot. Picture toast that's super crispy and golden, hugging a juicy sausage, and finished with lots of maple syrup. They're such a blast to eat—great for sharing, too. Honestly, they fit in just as well for a sleepy Sunday morning as they do on a school day scramble.

The very first time I whipped these up was on a school break when I needed something quick for the herd. They disappeared so fast I didn’t even get to finish my mug of coffee.

Tasty Ingredients

  • Maple syrup: drizzle on top for sweetness pure syrup tastes best
  • Granulated sugar: sweetens just enough, cane sugar gives it a gentle caramel touch
  • Cinnamon: warms up the flavors, Ceylon is extra nice
  • Large eggs: binds and coats the bread with a creamy layer use the freshest eggs you can get
  • Powdered sugar: dust on for a pretty finish, totally optional just sift before sprinkling
  • Milk: makes the egg dip rich and smooth, whole milk is best but any will do
  • White bread: pick something soft and fresh, it rolls super easy
  • Breakfast sausage links: go for sausages with good herby flavor, sage or maple ones are awesome
  • Vanilla extract: gives everything a bakery vibe, real vanilla if you can swing it
  • Unsalted butter: real butter's where the crispiness comes from, not margarine

Simple How-To Steps

Serve It Up:
Bring them hot to the table with a good pour of syrup and maybe a dusting of powdered sugar for extra flair
Fry Until Crispy:
Set each roll in the skillet with the seam side down cook while turning so every side goes golden plan for six to eight minutes
Give Each a Dip:
Dip your roll-ups fast into the egg mixture turning them so each side's coated but don’t let them get soggy
Warm Your Pan:
Pop a nonstick skillet over medium toss in butter let it melt and get bubbly but take care it doesn’t brown
Make the Egg Mix:
In a shallow bowl whip together eggs sugar cinnamon milk, and vanilla until it’s smooth
Tuck and Roll Sausage:
Stick a cooked sausage at the edge of each flattened bread slice roll it up tight press the seam to help it hold
Get Bread Ready:

If you ask me, nothing beats that crunchy buttery outside meeting the sausage inside. My kid once dubbed them 'breakfast churros stuffed with sausage' and now we can’t call them anything else!

How to store

Let them cool off and keep them in a sealed container in the fridge up to three days. To keep them crisp, just toss them back in a pan to reheat—skipping the microwave if you don’t want them soggy.

Easy swaps

Grab wheat or even brioche if you want something fancier than plain bread. For a lighter version, pick chicken-apple or turkey sausage. Swapping in oat or almond milk keeps the custard dairy-free.

Cool ways to serve

Stack them high on a platter with a syrup pitcher nearby, plus some fresh fruit or a quick berry compote. If you’re feeding a crowd, scrambled eggs and orange juice make a perfect sidekick lineup.

A sweet throwback

French toast's been around forever and sausage is a breakfast staple too. Put them together and you’ve got a fresh twist that busy families love because it’s tasty and totally doable.

FAQs About the Recipe

→ How can I stop roll-ups from coming apart when cooking?

Lay each roll-up in the skillet with the seam side facing down and make sure there’s room around them. That helps seal the bread and keeps everything snug while it browns up.

→ Could I use another kind of bread?

Super soft white bread is easiest since it squishes flat, but sturdy stuff like sandwich bread or even something a bit fancy like brioche is great too.

→ Is it okay to freeze these roll-ups?

You sure can. Let them cool off, wrap tight, and pop in the freezer. Warm them back up in your skillet or toaster oven so they stay crispy.

→ What goes well on top?

Maple syrup’s a go-to, but you can shake on some powdered sugar, throw on berries, spread a little jam, or even drizzle chocolate if you’re in the mood.

→ Can I get a head start and prep them before?

Yep, you can roll them up and chill in the fridge a few hours ahead. Wait to dunk and cook them so they stay fresh and crisp when it’s time to eat.

What You'll Need

→ For Cooking and Serving

01 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
02 Maple syrup, as much as you want for topping
03 Powdered sugar to sprinkle over at the end (optional)

→ Egg Mixture

04 2 big eggs
05 1/4 cup whole milk
06 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
07 1 teaspoon vanilla (the real stuff)
08 2 tablespoons white sugar

→ Main

09 6 cooked breakfast sausage links
10 6 slices white bread, cut the crusts off

Step-by-Step Guide

Step 01

Lay out the hot, crispy roll-ups on a plate. Add some maple syrup and maybe dust with powdered sugar if you feel like it.

Step 02

Toss roll-ups into your already-buttered skillet seam-side down. Keep turning them so they turn golden and get that crispy edge, should take 6 to 8 minutes all in.

Step 03

Dip each roll-up into your egg mix so they're totally covered on every side.

Step 04

Get your non-stick skillet going over medium heat and toss in the butter. Wait until it melts and gets all bubbly.

Step 05

Grab a shallow bowl and whisk up the eggs, milk, cinnamon, sugar, and vanilla until it's a smooth mix.

Step 06

Put a sausage link at one edge of your flattened bread. Roll everything up tightly so the sausage is inside.

Step 07

Take each slice of bread and use a rolling pin to squash them thin and flat. You want an even sheet.

Additional Notes

  1. Old bread works better for rolling, plus you'll get a better crunch.
  2. Try out different sausages or swap in thick ham slices if you're in the mood.
