French Toast & Sausage Breakfast Sliders
Ingredients
6 Jimmy Dean Original Sausage Patties
3 Large eggs
1 cup 2% milk
Salt to taste
12 slices sandwich bread
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
3/4 cup ricotta cheese
6 tablespoons whipped butter (room temperature)
3 oranges
Zest of one orange
Raspberries for plating
Powdered sugar (approx. 1 tbsp to sprinkle on top)
6 springs fresh mint
Directions
1. In a bowl or shallow dish that will fit the bread, whisk the eggs, milk, and a pinch of salt until bubbly.
2. Add first two bread slices to the egg mixture and soak. Turn a few times until mixture is fully absorbed
3. Using a cookie cutter or top of a glass approximately 4" in diameter cut the bread slices into rounds discarding remaining crusts
4. Set a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the oil and swirl around to coat bottom. (If using a skillet large enough to hold four slices at once double the oil.)
Slide a spatula completely under slices and gently set bread into pan. Cook approximately three minutes or until pieces are golden brown on bottom. Flip the slices and reduce heat to medium-low until browned, approximately 2-3 minutes. Repeat process until all bread is browned.
(Tip:) Turn on oven to lowest heat and place cooked bread slices in oven to keep warm while preparing remaining slices.
5. Once bread is cooked, place six pieces of sausage in air fryer and prepare according to cooking directions on box.
6. Arrange six toast slices on a platter. Places a dollop of ricotta on each piece and spread with the back of spoon. Place slice of sausage on top of ricotta and top with a dollop of whipped butter.
Drizzle lightly with honey, sprinkle with orange zest and top with another slice of French toast. Dust all the powdered sugar and serve with orange slices, raspberries and a mint sprig if so desired.
