Nutritional Information

French Toast Batter: In a bowl, combine milk, eggs, sugar, vanilla and cinnamon. Mix well.
Cut baguette 2 inches thick on a bias. Cut a pocket in the center of each slice of bread.
Cut each cooked sausage patty in half. Stuff ½ of each sausage patty in pocket of bread. Place sausage so cut side is inserted first with round side exposed.
Preheat non-stick sauté pan or flat top grill over medium high heat. Coat with vegetable oil.
Dip stuffed bread slices into French Toast Batter. Turn to evenly coat. Remove from batter allowing extra batter to drip off bread.
Cook for 1 to 1½ minutes on each side or until golden brown. Remove French toast from grill. Place on non-stick sheet pan. Place in preheated 400˚F oven for 5 minutes.
Build: Place 2 slices of French toast on plate. Serve with 2 tablespoons of maple syrup. Sprinkle with ¼ teaspoon powdered sugar over plate.
