Description
A fun, handheld twist on classic French toast, these roll ups feature soft bread filled with sweet spreads, dipped in egg, sautéed to golden perfection, and coated in cinnamon sugar.
Ingredients
- 8 slices soft white sandwich bread
- 2 large eggs
- 3 tablespoons milk
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar (plus extra for coating)
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (plus extra for coating)
- 2–3 tablespoons unsalted butter, for cooking
- Your choice of fillings: Nutella, cream cheese & strawberries, peanut butter, jam, lemon curd, etc.
- Maple syrup, for serving
Instructions
- Trim crusts from bread slices and roll each flat with a rolling pin.
- Lay a teaspoon or so of your desired filling near one edge and roll up tightly.
- In a shallow bowl, whisk eggs and milk. In another bowl, combine sugar and cinnamon for coating.
- Heat butter in a sauté pan or griddle over medium heat.
- Dip each roll in egg mix, coat all sides, then place seam-side down in pan.
- Cook ~1–2 minutes per side until golden and crispy, adding more butter if needed.
- Remove rolls, roll in cinnamon-sugar mixture, and serve warm with maple syrup.
Notes
- You can prepare the rolls ahead and refrigerate uncooked for up to 6 hours.
- For a crunchy texture, press rolls into crushed cornflakes after egg dip before cooking.
- To freeze, cool rolls completely, wrap individually, and freeze for up to 2 months.
- Bake alternative: brush with melted butter and bake at 350°F for 15–20 minutes, flipping halfway.
