Freezer French-Toast Sausage Sandwiches

French toast replaces the bun here, but the filling stays savory enough for a weekday breakfast. Use sturdy sandwich bread and let it cool completely before adding sausage and cheddar. Maple goes in the custard, where it cannot leak into the freezer wrap.

  4. Cool the French toast and sausage completely.
  5. Build six sandwiches with two toast slices, one sausage patty and cheddar, wrap in parchment and foil, and freeze for up to 1 month.
