Indulge in a savory breakfast twist with sausage-stuffed French toast towers. Comfort food meets morning delight for an easy, crave-worthy start!
Ingredients
- • Thick-cut bread (brioche or challah preferred): 8 slices
- • Breakfast sausage links: 8
- • Sharp cheddar cheese, shredded: 1 cup
- • Eggs: 4
- • Whole milk: 1 cup
- • Cinnamon: 1/2 teaspoon
- • Maple syrup: 2 tablespoons
- • Butter: 2 tablespoons
- • Salt: 1/2 teaspoon
- • Black pepper: 1/4 teaspoon
- • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish): 2 tablespoons
Instructions
- 1 Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- 2 Cook the breakfast sausage links in a skillet over medium heat until fully brown and cooked through. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
- 3 In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, cinnamon, and maple syrup until well combined. Season with salt and black pepper.
- 4 Take four slices of bread and cut a pocket into each by slicing horizontally through the middle, being careful not to cut all the way through.
- 5 Stuff each pocket with a sausage link and a generous amount of shredded cheddar cheese.
- 6 Dip each stuffed slice into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are well coated and the bread has absorbed the liquid.
- 7 Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add butter. Once melted, add the stuffed bread slices, cooking until golden brown on each side, about 3-4 minutes per side.
- 8 Transfer the browned French toast to a baking sheet and place in the preheated oven. Bake for 10 minutes to ensure the cheese is melted and the centers are heated through.
- 9 Serve the stuffed French toast towers stacked, garnished with fresh parsley, and a drizzle of maple syrup, if desired.
Serving Suggestions
- • These Savory Sausage-Stuffed French Toast Towers pair beautifully with a fresh fruit salad or sliced avocados for a refreshing contrast to the rich flavors. For beverages, consider serving with a robust cup of coffee or a frothy cappuccino to balance the meal's indulgence. If you're hosting a brunch, a sparkling mimosa or a raspberry Bellini would complement the savory and sweet combination of this dish, adding a touch of elegance to the breakfast spread. Don't forget a side of crisp bacon or breakfast potatoes for an extra hearty meal option.
Storage Tips
To store leftovers, let the French toast cool completely before placing it in an airtight container. Refrigerate for up to 2 days. To reheat, place the French toast on a baking sheet and warm in a 350°F (175°C) oven for about 10 minutes, or until heated through. Avoid microwaving as it may result in a soggy texture.
