Sausages in French toast

Ingredients:

• 12 uncooked pork breakfast sausages (about 400 g)
• 6 large eggs
• 3/4 cup milk
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
• A pinch of freshly grated nutmeg
• A pinch of coarse salt
• 12 slices potato or white country bread
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• Powdered sugar, for dusting
• Maple syrup, for serving

Preparation:

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the sausages on the baking sheet and bake until golden brown and cooked through, about 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside. Reduce the oven temperature to 205°F (95°C).
2. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, granulated sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Trim each slice of bread into a 5x10 cm rectangle, then flatten lightly with your fingertips. Wrap a sausage roll around each slice, pressing firmly into the short end. Transfer to the bowl with the egg mixture and soak for 5 minutes.
3. In a large nonstick skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. When it begins to darken and foam, add 6 bread-wrapped sausages and cook, turning occasionally, until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined baking sheet and keep in the oven to keep warm.
4. Wipe out the pan, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter, and repeat with the remaining sausages. Dust the sausages with powdered sugar and serve with maple syrup.
