Ingredients

  • 12 slices soft white bread, crusts cut off
  • ½ cup cream cheese, softened
  • 1 tablespoon powdered sugar
  • ¾ cup chopped strawberries (about 8 strawberries)
  • 2 large eggs
  • ¼ cup milk
  • 3 tablespoons butter, for sauté pan
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • melted peanut butter, for drizzling (optional)
  • maple syrup, for serving

Instructions

  1. Prepare Cream Cheese Filling:
    • In a small bowl, stir together the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until well combined.
  2. Prepare Egg Mixture:
    • In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk. Set aside.
  3. Cinnamon Sugar Coating:
    • In another small bowl, stir together 2 tablespoons granulated sugar with 2 teaspoons cinnamon. Set aside.
  4. Assemble Roll Ups:
    • After trimming the crusts from each slice of bread, roll one slice out to about 1/8-inch thickness with a rolling pin.
    • Spread each slice with a heaping teaspoon of the cream cheese mixture and then sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of chopped strawberries.
    • Roll up tightly. Repeat with remaining bread slices, cream cheese mixture, and chopped strawberries.
  5. Cook Roll Ups:
    • Place 3 tablespoons butter in a large non-stick sauté pan and let melt over medium heat. (If using a small sauté pan, use just 2 tablespoons butter and sauté the roll-ups in two batches)
    • Dip one roll at a time in the egg mixture and place in the sauté pan.
    • Allow roll ups to sauté for 1-2 minutes per side until golden brown and slightly crisp all around the outside.
    • Remove to a work surface and sprinkle each roll-up generously with the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
  6. Serve:
    • Serve immediately with a dusting of powdered sugar and maple syrup for dipping.
    • Optionally, drizzle melted peanut butter over the roll ups for an extra decadent touch.

    • Pair with a hot cup of coffee or tea to complement the sweetness of the roll ups.
  2. Storage Instructions:
    • If you have leftovers, allow the roll ups to cool completely before storing.
    • Place the cooled roll ups in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 2 days.
    • To reheat, place the roll ups on a microwave-safe plate and microwave for 20-30 seconds until warmed through.

  3. Freezing:
    • These Strawberry Cream Cheese French Toast Roll Ups can be frozen for longer storage.
    • Place the cooked and cooled roll ups on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and freeze until firm.
    • Once frozen, transfer the roll ups to a resealable freezer bag or airtight container and store in the freezer for up to 1 month.
    • To reheat frozen roll ups, thaw them in the refrigerator overnight, then reheat following the instructions above.
  4. Meal Prep:
    • These roll ups are perfect for meal prep. Make a batch ahead of time and store them in the refrigerator or freezer for quick and convenient breakfasts or snacks.
    • Prepare the roll ups as directed, then individually wrap them in plastic wrap or aluminum foil before refrigerating or freezing.
    • You can also assemble the roll ups the night before and refrigerate them overnight, then cook them in the morning for a hassle-free breakfast option.
  5. Customization:
    • Get creative with your roll up fillings by using different fruits such as blueberries, raspberries, or sliced bananas in place of strawberries.
    • Experiment with different spreads such as Nutella, almond butter, or flavored cream cheese for a variety of flavor combinations.
    • For a savory twist, try filling the roll ups with ham and cheese or scrambled eggs and bacon instead of sweet fillings.
