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
• 0 Maple syrup (optional, for serving)
• 0 Powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Preheat a large nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter, letting it melt and coat the surface.

Step 4

Dip one slice of bread into the egg mixture for about 5 seconds per side, ensuring it's fully coated but not overly saturated.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

Serve the sausage French toast warm with optional maple syrup and a dusting of powdered sugar, if desired.
