French Toast Roll-Up Ingredients
Bread – Regular white bread works great in this recipe, but if you have a favorite bread that you always have with you, feel free to try it out with that! Just make sure it can be flattened and rolled up without falling apart (a very dense seedy bread may break in this case).
Eggs – For the egg wash. Make sure they’re whisked together well; you can add a dash of milk to help with this too.
Raspberry jam – Substitute for any of your favorite fruit jams or fresh fruit sliced up finely.
Cream cheese – To add a rich and creamy filling to the sweet roll-up. Can substitute with Nutella, peanut butter, or slices of Brie cheese.
Ham – Deli ham works best in my opinion, but you could also use finely sliced leftover BBQ meat or strips of crispy bacon.
Cheddar cheese – Sub for sliced mozzarella, gruyere, provolone, or Brie cheese. You can’t go wrong with more cheese!
Sweet and Savory French Toast Roll-ups
French toast roll-ups with jam on a plate.
Makes 4 servings (8 roll-ups)
The Roll-ups:
8 slices bread, crusts removed
1 egg, whisked
Butter or oil, for frying
Sweet Version:
2 to 4 tbsp spreadable cream cheese
2 to 4 tsp raspberry jam
2 tbsp cinnamon-sugar mixture (optional)
Savory Version:
2 to 4 slices deli ham
2 to 4 slices cheddar cheese
Instructions
Start by removing the crusts from the bread slices. Then flatten the slices using a rolling pin until approximately ¼ inch thick. Add the fillings to one side of the slice, about 1 inch from the end. Then carefully roll up tightly and repeat with remaining bread slices.
PRO TIP: If possible, get family/friends involved and create a little assembly line for each step of the recipe. Have one person rolling the bread, one filling the roll-ups, one frying, and so on. This can be a fun way of getting more people involved as well as keeping this recipe super quick!
Heat a frying pan on medium heat, adding a little butter or oil to prevent sticking.
In a shallow bowl, whisk the egg well. Using tongs or two forks, carefully dip the roll-ups into the egg mixture until coated and then transfer to the hot pan. Fry on all sides until golden brown and a little crispy, about 5 to 7 minutes in total.
Roll the raspberry-cream cheese roll-ups in a cinnamon-sugar mixture immediately after frying to give just that little extra decadence (optional).
Dip roll-ups in maple syrup, whipped cream, ketchup, or your favorite French toast additions.
