Strawberry French Toast Roll-Ups – Page 2

Prepare the Bread:
- Trim the crusts off the bread slices. Using a rolling pin, flatten the bread slices to about half their original thickness. This makes them more pliable for rolling.
Fill and Roll:
- Spread a thin layer of cream cheese over each bread slice. At one end of each slice, place a small amount of diced strawberries. Sprinkle a little granulated sugar over the strawberries.
- Carefully roll up the bread from the strawberry end, ensuring the filling stays inside. Press lightly to seal the roll-up.
Mix the Egg Wash:
- In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and cinnamon until well combined.
Dip and Cook:
- Heat a non-stick skillet or frying pan over medium heat and add a little butter.
- Dip each roll-up in the egg mixture, allowing the excess to drip off, and then place it in the hot pan.
- Cook until golden brown on all sides, turning every 1-2 minutes to ensure even cooking. This usually takes about 4-6 minutes per batch.
Serve:
- Transfer the cooked roll-ups to a serving plate. Dust with confectioners’ sugar, if desired, and serve with maple syrup for dipping.

Variations: You can customize the filling by adding different fruits, such as blueberries or thinly sliced bananas, or by mixing a little cinnamon into the cream cheese.
Make Ahead: These roll-ups can be prepared the night before, stored in the refrigerator, and then dipped in the egg mixture and cooked in the morning. However, they are best when served fresh.
Serving Suggestion: For an extra indulgent breakfast, serve with whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon or a drizzle of chocolate sauce.
