🧰 Equipment Needed

  • Skillet or non-stick pan
  • Mixing bowl
  • Whisk
  • Cutting board
  • Rolling pin (or glass)
  • Tongs or spatula

🛒 Ingredients

Carefully chosen for balanced sweetness, savory flavor, and soft texture.

Main Ingredients

  • 8 chicken breakfast sausage links
  • 8 slices bread (white or whole wheat, crusts removed)

French Toast Batter

  • 4 large eggs
  • ½ cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

For Cooking & Serving

  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • Maple syrup, for serving
  • Powdered sugar, for dusting

Chicken sausage replaces traditional pork sausage while keeping the dish flavorful and compliant.


👩‍🍳 Directions

Step 1: Cook the Sausages
Cook the chicken breakfast sausages in a skillet over medium heat until fully cooked and lightly browned. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 2: Prepare the Bread
Remove the crusts from the bread slices. Use a rolling pin to gently flatten each slice into a thin rectangle.

Step 3: Roll the Sausage
Place one cooked sausage at one end of each bread slice. Roll the bread tightly around the sausage and gently press the seam to seal.

Step 4: Make the Batter
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and cinnamon until smooth.

Step 5: Dip the Roll-Ups
Dip each roll-up into the egg mixture, coating all sides evenly without soaking too long.

Step 6: Cook the Roll-Ups
Heat butter in a skillet over medium heat. Place the roll-ups seam-side down and cook, turning gently, until all sides are golden brown—about 2–3 minutes per side.

Step 7: Finish and Serve
Remove from the skillet and place on a plate. Dust lightly with powdered sugar if desired.
