Strawberry Cheesecake French Toast Roll Ups
Description
This recipe transforms ordinary bread into a dessert-like roll up using cream cheese and strawberry jam as a filling. After removing crusts and flattening the bread, spreading softened cream cheese and jam creates a creamy, fruity center. Rolling the bread around the filling shapes each portion, which is then dipped in an egg mixture flavored with vanilla and cinnamon to add warmth and aroma.
Cooking occurs in a buttered skillet over medium heat to achieve golden browning on all sides while fully cooking the egg coating. The final product is a soft yet slightly crisp roll with a rich, creamy interior and sweet strawberry flavor.
Serving suggestions include garnishing with powdered sugar and fresh strawberries for added freshness and sweetness. The roll ups can be made ahead and refrigerated, reheated gently, or frozen for future use, offering convenient options for enjoying this treat.
Ingredients
- 12 lices bread any kind
- 4 ounces cream cheese softened
- ¼ cup strawberry jam
- 2 large egg large
- ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup half-and-half or milk
- 1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
- 3-4 tablespoons butter
Optional, to serve
- strawberry fresh
- 1 tablespoon powdered sugar
Instructions
- Slice the crusts off the bread, and using a rolling pin, flatten the bread out.
- Making sure the cream cheese is soft and spreadable, spread each slice of bread thickly with cream cheese.
- Top without about 1 tsp strawberry jam.
- Spread until the surface is covered. Roll up each slice of bread and set aside.
- In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs, vanilla, half & half and cinnamon.
