Savory French Toast Roll-Ups
Description
This recipe starts by softening slices of country white or wheat bread, then rolling them flat with a rolling pin. A filling of cooked bacon, shredded white cheddar cheese, and thinly sliced green onions or chives is placed on each flattened slice, which is rolled tightly, sliced in half, then dipped in a seasoned beaten egg and milk mixture. The rolls are arranged seam-side down in a buttered baking dish standing upright.
The dish is covered and refrigerated for an hour to soak up the egg mixture, then baked at 350°F until set and cooked through. Butter is used both in preparation and optionally for serving. The result is a warm, savory French toast with a creamy interior and a mixed crispy-chewy exterior from the cheese and bacon with the soft bread.
This preparation suits savory breakfast or brunch occasions, offering a dish that can be sliced individual servings from the pan. The combination of bacon, cheddar, and green onions adds depth of flavor.
The recipe yields one 8-inch pan of roll-ups and needs about an hour of refrigerating after assembly before baking.
