Cheese & Sausage-Stuffed French Toast

     We're finally having some bone-chilling, cold weather.  Finally.  Friday I actually saw a mailman going door-to-door with his satchel, delivering mail in shorts.  This is Minnesota, for goodness sakes!  It should be cold in January...  The weather finally turned this morning and making Cheese & Sausage-Stuffed French Toast was the perfect way to spend a lazy (cold) morning.
     It will take a little longer, but Chicken, Apple & Fresh Sage Sausage Patties are a healthy alternative to Brown-and-Serve-Sausages in this recipe.
  Either way, this stuffed French toast will make a great breakfast or brunch.

     Cheese & Sausage-Stuffed French Toast

• 1 8-ounce package brown-and-serve sausages or Chicken, Apple & Fresh Sage
   Sausage Patties (recipe here)
• 8-ounch loaf French or Italian bread
• 6 slices Muenster or Provolone cheese
• 5 large eggs
• 1 cup milk
• Pinch of kosher salt
• Butter
• Warm pure maple syrup
• assorted fresh fruit
1.  Prepare brown-and-serve sausages, or make Chicken, Apple & Fresh Sage Sausage Patties
2.  Cut six 1 1/2-inch-thick slices from the bread.  Halve each slice with a serrated knife, stopping before you have sliced all the way through the piece of bread.  The slice should be hinged.  Open the pocket and fill with a piece of cheese and sausages.  I found I needed 1 1/2 of the chicken & apple sausage patties to fill each bread slice. 
3.  In a large shallow dish, beat the eggs, milk, and salt until blended.  Place the filled bread slices in the egg mixture, turning to coat both sides of the bread.
4.  In a large (cast iron) skillet over medium heat, melt one tablespoon of butter.  Cook the stuffed bread until golden brown on both sides.  Add more butter if needed.
5.  Remove French Toast from the pan and plate.  Drizzle with warm maple syrup and serve with fresh fruit.

Eileen, it's the crack of dawn here on the west coast and I have gone from wide awake, to wide awake and now hungry, thanks to this savory sweet post about french toast deluxe. You had me at sausage. Take care, stay warm and thanks for next Sunday's breakfast menu for this insomniac.

We have yet to try your homemade sausage recipe... but with this post we may as well double the batch!
I love French toast and although my husband isn't as enamored with it... he will eat it if the maple syrup os replaced by hot sauce, which is his condiment of choice on pancakes too. :\

Hi, I'm searching your blog for the name of the flour mill you mentioned in several posts that is, I believe, local to you.
Thanks!
