French Toast Roll-Ups
Description
This recipe transforms basic sandwich bread into rolled French toast treats filled with flavors such as cream cheese mixed with diced strawberries or Nutella combined with strawberries. The bread slices have their crusts removed and are flattened before spreading the filling, then rolled into tight cylinders.
They are dipped thoroughly in an egg and milk wash before cooking in a buttered skillet until golden on all sides. Once cooked, the rolls are rolled in a cinnamon sugar mixture that sticks to their warm surface, creating a sweet, slightly crunchy coating combined with the soft, creamy filling inside.
These roll-ups make a fun option for breakfast or a sweet snack, especially served alongside syrup for dipping if desired. The careful rolling and cooking yield a crisp outside and a warm, flavorful center.
Ingredients
- 8 lices white sandwich bread
- cream cheese diced strawberries, or Nutella, softened
- 2 egg
- 3 tablespoons milk
- 1/3 /3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 ground cinnamon heaping teaspoon
- butter for greasing the pan
Instructions
- Cut the crust from each slice of bread and flatten it out with a rolling pin.
- Place about 1-2 teaspoons of your chosen filling 1 inch from one end of the bread in a strip. Roll the bread up tightly and repeat with the remaining pieces of bread. I really like cream cheese with diced strawberries as one combination and Nutella with diced strawberries as another combination.
- In a shallow bowl whisk the eggs and milk until well combined.
- In a separate shallow bowl mix the sugar with the cinnamon.
- Heat a skillet set over medium heat and melt a tablespoon of butter.
- Dip each bread roll in the egg mixture coating well and then place them in the pan seam side down. Cook in batches until golden brown, turning them to cook and brown on all sides, about 2 minutes per side. Add butter to the pan as needed.
- Add cooked rolls immediately from the pan to the cinnamon sugar and roll until completely covered in sugar. You can serve with syrup for dipping but I think they're perfectly good all by themselves.
Notes
- Remove crusts from bread and flatten slices before rolling to ensure even rolling and filling coverage.
- Use cream cheese with diced strawberries or Nutella with diced strawberries for filling options.
- Serve roll-ups right after cooking for best texture; syrup optional for dipping.
