French Toast Roll-Ups



French toast has always been my favorite food for breakfast. Others can have pancakes and waffles, but I’ll take French toast any day.  I just can’t have enough of them.  I never knew I could turn regular french toasts into a five-star quality dish that just melts in the mouth.


French toast roll-up is like a cross between a pastry and a cinnamon toast.  So easy to make and everyone will go crazy about how fun and delicious they are to eat.


To make the roll-ups, the bread crust is trimmed and flattened out with rolling pin. Place whatever filling you like inside towards the end of the piece of the bread.  You can use cream cheese, nut butter, jam, dulce de leche, Nutella, cajeta, caramel, and diced/sliced fresh fruits, or whatever else you can think of.  My favorite is softened cream cheese and dice strawberries and of course Nutella and diced strawberries. There are no rules and the recipe is really more method than precision.  Then the bread is rolled and cooked in a buttery skillet just like regular french toast.


These french toast roll-ups are delicious for breakfast or even high tea.  Oh, you can have it anytime, morning, day, and night. Your great little treat is ready in no time.  They taste amazing on their own, but a little dip in some maple syrup makes them extra sweet and scrumptious.
