Bread flattened and rolled around sausage, dipped in cinnamon French toast batter, then cooked until golden. Takes 25 minutes and makes 10 roll-ups.
These roll-ups came about when I was trying to figure out how to make breakfast more exciting for my kids who were getting bored with regular French toast and sausages. I thought, what if I just wrapped the sausage inside the French toast? It sounded crazy, but rolling the bread around the sausage and then dipping the whole thing in the egg mixture creates these incredible handheld breakfast packages. Each bite gives you sweet, cinnamony French toast with a surprise sausage center that makes breakfast feel like a fun treat instead of just another meal.
Why You'll Love These

- Great for meal prep - Make a batch and freeze them for quick weekday breakfasts
My youngest daughter, who usually picks at her breakfast and leaves half of everything, ate four of these and asked if we could have them every morning. My husband said they were "genius" because you get the perfect ratio of French toast to sausage in every bite. Even my mother-in-law, who's pretty traditional about breakfast foods, said they were "clever and delicious."
