French Toast Pigs in Blankets

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. 2

   Arrange the sausages on the baking sheet and bake until lightly browned and cooked through, about10 minutes.

3. 3

   Remove from the oven and set aside; reduce the oven temperature to 200 degrees F.

4. 4

   Meanwhile, whisk the eggs, milk, granulated sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt in a large bowl.

5. 5

   Trim each slice of bread into a 2-by-4-inch rectangle, then flatten slightly with your fingertips.

6. 6

   Starting at a short end, roll each piece of bread around a sausage, pressing firmly to seal.

7. 7

   Transfer to the bowl with the egg mixture and soak 5 minutes.

8. 8

   Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat.

9. 9

   When it begins to brown and foam, add 6 of the bread-wrapped sausages and cook, turning occasionally, until golden brown, about 5 minutes.

10. 10

    Remove to a paper towel-lined baking sheet and keep warm in the oven.

11. 11

    Wipe out the skillet, add the remaining 2 tablespoons butter and repeat with the remaining 6 sausages.

    Dust with confectioners' sugar and serve with maple syrup.
