French Toast Roll-Ups
Simple, bite-sized French toast rolls filled with cream cheese, strawberries, or Nutella for a quick breakfast or snack.
Servings: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 8 slices white sandwich bread
- softened cream cheese or Nutella; can also use diced strawberries as a filling
- 2 eggs
- 3 tablespoons milk
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon heaping
- butter for greasing the pan
Instructions
- Trim the crusts from each bread slice, then flatten each slice with a rolling pin until thin and even.
- Place about 1 to 2 teaspoons of your chosen filling (softened cream cheese, Nutella, and/or diced strawberries) about 1 inch from one end of each flattened slice and roll up tightly.
- In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until combined.
- In a separate shallow bowl, stir together the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat and melt about 1 tablespoon butter to coat the pan.
- Dip each roll-up in the egg mixture, coating it completely, then place seam-side down in the skillet. Cook in batches, turning to brown all sides, about 2 minutes per side; add more butter to the pan as needed.
- Transfer cooked roll-ups directly to the cinnamon-sugar mixture and roll each until evenly coated.
- Serve warm; optionally offer syrup for dipping.

Notes
- Remove crusts and flatten bread for easiest rolling.

- Cook over medium heat so rolls brown without burning.
- Add butter to the pan between batches as needed.
- Roll cooked pieces in cinnamon sugar while warm for best coating.
