Ingredients
Scale
Roll-Ups
- 8 slices white sandwich bread, crusts removed
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup strawberries, diced
- 1/4 cup blueberries
Batter
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
Cinnamon Sugar Coating
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Heat Skillet: Warm a nonstick skillet over medium heat to prepare for frying the roll-ups evenly.
- Prepare Mixtures: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined, creating the egg batter. In a separate bowl, mix the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon to make the cinnamon sugar coating.
- Assemble Roll-Ups: Flatten each bread slice using a rolling pin to create an even surface. Spread each with softened cream cheese, then sprinkle diced strawberries and blueberries on top. Roll each slice tightly to enclose the filling.
- Dip Roll-Ups: Dip each bread roll-up into the egg and milk mixture, ensuring all sides are thoroughly coated for a nice crust when cooked.
- Fry Roll-Ups: Place the coated roll-ups in the preheated skillet and cook until golden brown on all sides, approximately 2 to 3 minutes per side.
- Coat with Cinnamon Sugar: Immediately after frying, roll the hot roll-ups in the cinnamon sugar mixture to coat.
- Serve: Serve the French Toast Roll-Ups warm, optionally with syrup or powdered sugar for added sweetness.
Notes
- Removing crusts from bread prevents tough edges and allows for easier rolling.
- Using softened cream cheese helps in spreading evenly without tearing the bread.
- Make sure the skillet is not too hot to avoid burning; medium heat is ideal.
- Fresh berries can be substituted with other fruits such as bananas or raspberries.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the crispy exterior and melty filling.
