I’m living up to my blog’s tagline with this one. The combination of sweet and spicy is one I have relished and savored for as long as I can remember and the recipe I’m going to share with you today is the epitome of all that. The words French Toast usually conjure up images of beautifully browned toast and a variety of sweet toppings in most folks’ minds. I, on the other hand, grew up on savory French toast and the idea that you could make it sweet seemed a bit alien to me for a long time. Sweet and spicy together however, now that’s a match made in heaven.

This post comes at just the right time because my husband and I are going away on a short but well deserved vacation this weekend! 🙂 Vacations mean new places and new adventures, but they also mean late mornings and brunch. And when I’m looking for a brunch idea that’s fabulous in flavor but is also very easy to put together, this is one I go to quite often. Savory French Toast with Maple Sriracha Sausages, this one features my favorite ever maple syrup, spicy and tangy sriracha and my favorite breakfast food – French toast! It’s a simple combo, yet it tastes oh, so good!

In one of my earlier posts, I told you about how much I love french toast. Growing up, my favorite way of eating it was with a spicy (extra spicy actually) sausage fry made with small chicken cocktail sausages. In fact, french toast with sausages was the first meal I ever made my husband (then boyfriend)! 🙂 I used to make it with brown sugar and tomato sauce and some cayenne pepper but for this savory French toast recipe, I’ve substituted the sugar with maple syrup and the tomato sauce with sriracha. It’s an easy and beautiful combination that will work really well for a side dish for breakfast/brunch. An extra drizzle of maple syrup on top won’t hurt either!

This savory French toast with maple sriracha sausages is slightly more sweet than spicy, but that combo is just hard to beat. I also made some Maple-Sriracha whipped butter to go on top of the french toast as well. Not only does it complement this sausage fry brilliantly, but it will also go really well with waffles, pancakes and crepes!

So I’m leaving you with this awesome recipe, hoping you have an AMAZING Memorial Day weekend and get to kick back and relax like me. While gorging on awesome french toast with a cocktail in hand (too early for that? naaah!), preferably.

    Wow, if I saw this on a restaurant brekky menu I would definitely order it! I like that it’s ‘different’ but still quite simple. Delicious!

    I made this for dinner tonight and it was DELICIOUS! I accidentally made a few tweaks in that I forgot the sugar in the french toast, did not add the red pepper flakes to the sausage mixture (my tablet turned off mid-recipe) and used a “Power Greens” mixture instead of straight spinach because that is what I had. It is definitely going to become a standard around here – great combination of flavors and very simple!

    Made this yesterday! It was delicious and super easy! I love how the spinach tones down the sharp, sweet, spicy, salty flavors and gives it a bit of earthiness. Thanks! will definitely be making this again!

      Thank you so much for letting me know Beth! I am so glad that you loved the recipe 😀 The spinach does add a lovely contrast to the two extremes 🙂 and it makes me even more happy that you will be making this again! 😀

    At first when I saw the title I wondered if you were making your own sausages, but this is just as good a way to get lots of yummy flavors in there. Looks delicious! Hope you have a good weekend away.
