Ingredients
Scale
Roll-Ups:
- 10 slices White Sandwich Bread – Soft and pliable
- ½ cup Cream Cheese, softened
- ½ cup Fresh Strawberries, diced
- ¼ cup Fresh Blueberries
Custard and Coating:
- 2 large Eggs
- ¼ cup Milk
- ¼ cup Granulated Sugar
- 1 tsp Cinnamon Powder
- 2 tbsp Unsalted Butter
To Serve:
- Maple Syrup, to taste
- Extra Fresh Berries (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the skillet: Warm a non-stick skillet over medium heat and melt a small amount of butter to grease the surface, ensuring the roll-ups don’t stick during cooking.
- Mix custard and coating: Whisk together eggs and milk in a shallow bowl to create the custard dip. In a separate bowl, combine cinnamon powder and granulated sugar to form the sweet coating.
- Maintain skillet greasing: Keep the skillet warm and greased with butter throughout the cooking process to maintain a golden, non-stick surface.
- Prepare the bread: Trim crusts off each bread slice, then use a rolling pin to flatten them. Spread softened cream cheese evenly over each slice, sprinkle diced strawberries and blueberries, then roll each slice tightly into a log.
- Cook the roll-ups: Dip each roll-up in the egg mixture, coating thoroughly. Place seam-side down on the skillet and cook, turning carefully, for about 2 minutes per side or until all sides are golden brown.
- Coat with cinnamon sugar: While still warm, roll each cooked French toast roll in the cinnamon-sugar mixture, ensuring an even and sweet crust.
- Serve: Plate the roll-ups warm, drizzle with maple syrup, and garnish with extra fresh berries if desired. Enjoy immediately for best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Use fresh berries for vibrant flavor and texture; frozen berries can add extra moisture and may affect rolling.
- Ensure the bread slices are flattened well for easier rolling and better filling adherence.
- Keep the skillet well-greased and at a medium temperature to avoid burning the roll-ups.
- Serve immediately as the crisp texture is best enjoyed fresh.
- Maple syrup adds sweetness but can be omitted or replaced with honey or fruit compote.
