Sausage French Toast Roll-Ups are the ultimate breakfast treat my family asks for on slow weekend mornings. Warm sausage links get wrapped in fluffy white bread, dipped in a fragrant egg wash, and crisped until golden for a savory-sweet creation perfect with syrup.

My kids get excited every time I set these on the table and I love how fuss-free the clean-up is. The first time I made them, my youngest said they were better than doughnuts.

Ingredients

  • Eggs: provide the creamy dipping base and help bind the roll-ups
  • Whole milk: adds richness and balances the egg wash
  • Ground cinnamon: brings warmth and depth to the flavor
  • Ground nutmeg: adds a hint of spice for classic French toast taste
  • Vanilla extract: gives sweetness and fragrance
  • Fresh white bread: rolls easily and crisps up just right You can use brioche or whole wheat if you like
  • Fully cooked sausage links: offer savory flavor and convenience Pre-cooked is a time saver just make sure they fit your bread
  • Unsalted butter: is best for frying and creates a crisp outer layer Use good-quality butter for best browning

Step-by-Step Instructions

Prepare the Egg Mixture:
Whisk eggs with milk cinnamon nutmeg and vanilla extract in a medium bowl until very smooth The spices should be evenly blended with no streaks and the mixture should smell sweet and fragrant
Flatten the Bread:
Lay out each bread slice and use a rolling pin to flatten completely Go to the edges with gentle pressure to avoid tearing Trim off crusts for neat roll-ups This keeps everything uniform and tidy
Roll with Sausage:
Lay a sausage link along one edge of each slice and roll tightly to enclose the sausage You want a snug fit so gently press along the seam to help seal Repeat with all slices prepared
Coat in Egg Wash:
Dip each roll up quickly in the egg mixture Make sure each side is coated but do not let them sit too long as that will lead to sogginess Let any extra drip off before frying
Fry Until Golden:
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and melt a bit of butter When it sizzling add roll-ups seam side down Cook each for two to three minutes per side turning often until all sides are deep golden brown Fry in batches and add fresh butter as you go
Serve Warm:
Remove finished roll-ups and set them on a plate Serve immediately with warm maple syrup or dust with powdered sugar. Enjoy the crunch on the outside and soft interior with every bite

I cannot get enough of the cinnamon and sausage scent wafting through the house each time I make these especially when everyone gathers in the kitchen to sneak an extra roll

Storage Tips

Let any leftovers cool completely before storing Place them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days Reheat in a toaster oven or air fryer to keep them crisp

Ingredient Substitutions

Brioche makes for an extra rich version while whole wheat bread is a healthier swap Turkey sausage works very well if you want a lighter option Dairy free milk can trade for the whole milk if needed

Commonly Asked Questions

→ Are raw sausages suitable?

Raw sausages can be used, but ensure they are fully cooked before rolling inside the bread.

→ How do I keep the roll-ups from unrolling?

Press the seam gently after rolling and place seam-side down in the pan to help them stay closed.

→ Can roll-ups be prepared ahead?

Yes, you can assemble and refrigerate them the night before. Dip and fry them fresh in the morning for best texture.

What You'll Need

01 3 large eggs
02 1 tablespoon whole milk
03 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
04 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
05 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
06 10 slices fresh white bread
07 10 fully cooked sausage links
08 Unsalted butter, for frying

Step-by-Step Directions

Step 01

In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and vanilla extract until the batter is smooth and well combined.

Step 02

Using a rolling pin, flatten each slice of bread evenly. Trim off the crusts to ensure clean, uniform edges.

Step 03

Place a fully cooked sausage link at one long edge of a flattened slice of bread. Tightly roll the bread around the sausage to form a compact cylinder, pressing gently to seal the seam. Repeat for all bread slices.

Step 04

Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and melt a small amount of unsalted butter. Quickly dip each prepared roll-up into the custard mixture, ensuring an even coating. Allow any excess to drip off.

Step 05

Place coated roll-ups in the hot skillet. Cook, turning frequently, until all sides are crisp and golden brown, approximately 2–3 minutes per side. Work in batches as needed, adding more butter to the pan if required.

Step 06

Remove the roll-ups from the skillet and serve while warm. Accompany with maple syrup or a dusting of powdered sugar, if desired.

Helpful Notes

  1. Use soft, fresh bread for best results; stale or dense bread can be difficult to roll and cook evenly.
  2. Ensure sausage links are fully cooked prior to assembly, especially if substituting raw sausage.
  3. Press each roll-up gently to secure the seam and maintain a tight roll while cooking.
  4. Dip each roll quickly in the egg mixture to avoid oversaturation and soggy texture.
