Strawberry Cheesecake French Toast Roll Ups
Strawberry Cheesecake French Toast Roll Ups feature flattened bread slices spread with soft cream cheese and strawberry jam, rolled and dipped in a cinnamon-vanilla egg mixture before skillet cooking. The exterior browns to a tender, slightly crisp crust while the inside stays soft and creamy, echoing cheesecake flavors combined with fruity sweetness. These roll ups work well served with powdered sugar and fresh strawberries.
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.
- Melt butter in large skillet, over medium heat.
- Dip the rolls in the egg mixture, then cook each roll in the skillet, adding more butter if needed, turning to brown evenly. This should take only a few minutes.
To Serve
- Sprinkle with powdered sugar, if desired.
- Devour.
Notes
- Substitute strawberry jam with blueberry, raspberry, or peach jam for different flavors.
- Fresh grated apples with cinnamon make a good alternative filling.
- Nutella can be used as a filling for a chocolate variation.
- Store prepared roll ups in the refrigerator and reheat gently in the oven before serving.
- These roll ups freeze well; reheat in the oven directly from frozen.
- Decorate with fresh strawberries and a dusting of powdered sugar for serving.
