Ingredients

• 4 large Eggs
• 1 cup Whole milk
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 8 slices Thick-sliced bread
• 2 tablespoons Cooking oil or butter
• 8 Breakfast sausage links
• 2 Apples (medium, peeled and sliced)
• 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 0.25 cup Maple syrup
• 1 tablespoon Powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon until well combined.

Step 2

Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with cooking oil or butter.

Step 3

Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, allowing it to soak for about 10 seconds per side. Place the coated slices on the hot skillet and cook until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Set aside and keep warm.

Step 4

In a separate skillet, cook the breakfast sausage links over medium heat until browned and fully cooked, about 8-10 minutes. Transfer to a plate and keep warm.

Step 5

Using the same skillet, add the unsalted butter, sliced apples, brown sugar, and ground nutmeg. Cook over medium heat for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples are tender and caramelized.

Step 6

To serve, place two slices of French toast on each plate. Top with caramelized apples and two sausage links per serving.

Step 7

Drizzle with maple syrup and sprinkle with powdered sugar, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
