Description

These family-friendly French toast roll-ups are filled with creamy cream cheese and diced strawberries, then cooked until golden and coated in cinnamon sugar. A cozy and practical choice for Valentine’s Day brunch, dessert, or a sweet breakfast that feels special without being complicated.


Ingredients

  • ▢8 slices Texas toast

  • ▢4 ounces cream cheese softened

  • ▢8 ounces strawberries diced

  • ▢2 large eggs

  • ▢1 tablespoon milk

  • ▢1 tsp pure vanilla extract

  • ▢3 tbsp salted butter

  • ▢⅓ cup granulated cane sugar

  • ▢½ tsp ground cinnamon

  • ▢powdered sugar optional


Instructions

  1. Roll each slice of Texas toast flat using a rolling pin and trim off the crusts with a knife.

  2. Spread ½ Tablespoon of softened cream cheese evenly on each slice of bread.

  3. Add 1 rounded teaspoon of diced strawberries on top of the cream cheese, being careful not to overfill.

  4. Gently roll each slice of bread into a tight roll-up.

  5. In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and vanilla extract. Set aside.

  6. In a separate bowl, combine the granulated cane sugar and ground cinnamon. Set aside.

  7. Lightly dredge each bread roll through the egg mixture, taking care not to saturate the bread.

  8. Melt the salted butter over medium heat in a skillet.

  9. Place the roll-ups seam side down in the pan and cook until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side, turning with tongs.

  10. Once fully cooked, roll each warm roll-up through the cinnamon sugar mixture until well coated.

  11. Serve hot with a light dusting of powdered sugar if desired.

Notes

  • Avoid overfilling to keep the roll-ups sealed while cooking.

 

  • Cook over medium heat to prevent burning the sugar coating.
