Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 ounces Ground breakfast sausage
- 4 large Eggs
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Sugar
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 6 slices Thick-sliced bread (such as brioche or Texas toast)
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- Maple syrup (optional, for serving)
- Powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground breakfast sausage until browned and fully cooked, breaking it up into small crumbles as it cooks. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla extract, sugar, and salt until well combined.
Preheat a large nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter, letting it melt and coat the surface.
Dip one slice of bread into the egg mixture for about 5 seconds per side, ensuring it's fully coated but not overly saturated.
Place the soaked bread slice onto the preheated skillet and sprinkle a generous amount of cooked sausage crumbles onto the top before flipping it over.
Cook the first side for about 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown. Flip the bread and cook the second side for an additional 2-3 minutes. Press gently with a spatula to ensure the sausage sticks.
Remove the cooked French toast slice and keep it warm in a low oven. Repeat the process with the remaining slices of bread, adding more butter to the skillet as needed.
Serve the sausage French toast warm with optional maple syrup and a dusting of powdered sugar, if desired.
