Description

Strawberry French Toast Roll-Ups are a delightful twist on classic French toast, featuring soft white bread rolled around a creamy sweetened cream cheese and fresh strawberry filling. These bite-sized roll-ups are dipped in a cinnamon-egg mixture, pan-fried to golden perfection, and coated with cinnamon sugar for a crispy, sweet finish. Perfect for a fun breakfast or brunch treat.

Ingredients

Scale

Bread and Filling

  • 8 slices soft white bread
  • 4 oz (115 g) cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tbsp powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, finely chopped

Egg Mixture

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

For Frying and Coating

  • 3 tbsp butter (for frying)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for coating)
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon (for coating)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the bread: Trim the crusts from the bread slices and flatten each slice evenly using a rolling pin to create a thin, pliable base for rolling.
  2. Make the cream cheese filling: In a bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together until smooth and creamy.
  3. Assemble the roll-ups: Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly onto each flattened bread slice, then sprinkle the finely chopped fresh strawberries over the top.
  4. Roll the bread: Tightly roll up each slice starting from one edge, ensuring the filling stays inside, and place the roll-ups seam-side down on a plate to keep their shape.
  5. Prepare the egg mixture: In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, and ground cinnamon until well combined.
  6. Coat the roll-ups: Dip each roll-up into the egg mixture, turning to coat all sides thoroughly.
  7. Cook the roll-ups: Heat the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Fry the coated roll-ups, turning often, until golden brown on all sides, about 4 to 5 minutes total.
  8. Coat with cinnamon sugar: Mix the granulated sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. While the roll-ups are still warm, roll them in the cinnamon sugar mixture until evenly coated.
  9. Serve: Serve the Strawberry French Toast Roll-Ups immediately, optionally with extra fresh strawberries or maple syrup on the side for dipping.

Notes

  • You can substitute cream cheese with mascarpone for a richer flavor.
  • Use day-old bread for easier rolling if fresh bread is too soft.
  • Instead of frying in butter, a non-stick spray can be used for a lower fat option.
  • These roll-ups can be prepared ahead of time and heated gently in a skillet before serving.
  • For added flavor, sprinkle a pinch of nutmeg in the egg mixture along with cinnamon.
