Eggnog French Toast Roll-Ups

Instructions

• Using a rolling pin, roll out each piece of white bread to about ⅛ inch (3 mm) thick. Slice off the crusts so each slice of bread is a perfect square.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, eggnog, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and flour until well combined.
• In a small bowl, mix together the cream cheese, maple syrup, and sage until smooth.
• Make the maple sage sausage roll-ups: Spread 2 heaping teaspoons of the cream cheese mixture in a strip on the bottom half of a bread square. Place a breakfast sausage on top of the strip of cream cheese, then carefully roll into a tight log. Repeat to make 3 more sausage roll-ups.
• Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a medium nonstick pan over medium heat.
