French Toast Rolls

Around my house, pancakes and French toast are breakfast staples for my kids. However, we don't always have time to sit down and dig into a stack of French toast. This recipe solves that problem by turning it into a portable option.

These French toast roll-ups have all the buttery-cinnamon flavor and crispy texture of classic French toast but with the option of picking them up and dunking them into maple syrup or making them a breakfast on the go.

Ingredients

2 tablespoons sugar
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
8 slices sandwich bread, crust removed
¼ cup whipped cream cheese*
1 cup diced strawberries
2 eggs
3 tablespoons milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons butter, for cooking

Instructions

Prep:

In a small dish, combine the sugar and ground cinnamon. Set aside.
In a shallow dish, beat the eggs with the milk and vanilla. Set aside.

Assemble:

On a flat surface, use a rolling pin to flatten each slice of bread. Spread the cream cheese over each slice and top with 1 tablespoon of diced berries along the edge. Tightly roll up the bread.
Dip each roll into the egg mixture. Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar.

Cook:

In a medium, non-stick skillet, melt the butter over medium-high heat.
Place the rolls 3 to 4 at a time in the skillet and cook for 3 minutes or until golden brown before flipping and cooking for an additional 1 to 2 minutes.
Remove the roll-ups from the skillet and allow to cool slightly before serving.

Notes

If you want to make the recipe dairy-free, you could swap the cream cheese for a vegan alternative or use peanut butter, no doubt a delicious combination with the cinnamon-sugar coating and strawberries.
After the roll-ups are cooked and cooled off, you can freeze them in a large, freezer-safe zip bag for up to 2 months. To cook, thaw them out at room temperature and broil in the oven for 1-2 minutes, watching carefully, so they don't burn.
