Description

French Toast Roll-Ups are a fun, handheld twist on classic French toast. Slices of bread are filled with sweet cream cheese and fruit, rolled tightly, then dipped in a cinnamon-vanilla egg mixture and pan-fried until golden. They’re perfect for breakfast, brunch, or even as a sweet snack—crispy on the outside, creamy on the inside, and utterly irresistible for kids and adults alike.

Ingredients

Units Scale

Bread and Filling

  • 8 slices sandwich bread, crusts removed
  • 6 tablespoons cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup fresh strawberries, diced (or favorite fruit: blueberries, peaches, banana)

Egg Mixture

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

For Cooking

  • 2 tablespoons butter

Cinnamon Sugar

  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Optional for serving

  • Maple syrup
  • Powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Bread and Filling: Place each slice of bread on a flat surface and use a rolling pin to flatten. Spread about 3/4 tablespoon of softened cream cheese across each slice, leaving a small border. Sprinkle a spoonful of diced strawberries (or your favorite fruit) over the cream cheese.
  2. Roll the Bread: Carefully, starting at one end, roll each slice up tightly to seal in the filling. Set each roll seam-side down to help it stay closed.
  3. Mix the Egg Mixture: In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and vanilla extract until well combined. In another small shallow dish, mix together the sugar and cinnamon. Set both aside.
  4. Dip and Coat: Individually dip each bread roll-up into the egg mixture, ensuring all sides are coated. Shake off any excess.
  5. Pan-Fry the Roll-Ups: Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add roll-ups in batches, cooking and turning occasionally until all sides are golden brown (about 2-3 minutes per batch). Add remaining butter as needed between batches.
  6. Cinnamon-Sugar Finish: While hot, immediately roll each cooked French toast roll-up in the cinnamon sugar mixture to coat all sides.
  7. Serve: Serve warm, dusted with powdered sugar and drizzled with maple syrup if desired. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Use soft, fresh sandwich bread for the best results—staler bread may crack when rolling.
  • Feel free to swap in your favorite fruit or add a chocolate hazelnut spread for a different flavor.
  • Work quickly so the bread doesn’t dry out after flattening.
  • Best enjoyed warm, right after cooking for the ideal crunch and creamy center.
  • You can prep the roll-ups a few hours ahead, keep them covered in the fridge, and cook just before serving.
