Ingredients

Scale

Bread

  • White or whole wheat sandwich bread, crusts removed

Batter

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon sugar

Fillings (choose your favorite)

  • Cream cheese
  • Fruit preserves or fresh fruit (berries, sliced bananas)
  • Mini chocolate chips or Nutella
  • Ham and cheese (for savory option)

Cooking

  • Butter or oil for frying (about 2 tablespoons)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Remove the crusts from your bread slices and use a rolling pin to flatten each piece lightly. This helps with easy rolling and even cooking.
  2. Make the Batter: In a shallow bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, cinnamon, and sugar until smooth and well combined. This mixture will soak into the bread to give it classic French toast flavor and texture.
  3. Add Fillings and Roll: Spread your chosen filling evenly over each flattened bread slice. Carefully roll the bread from one edge to the other, keeping the filling neatly tucked inside.
  4. Dip and Cook: Dip each roll-up into the batter, coating all sides. Heat butter or oil in a pan over medium heat and fry the roll-ups until golden brown and cooked through, turning to ensure even crispness.
  5. Serve Warm: Remove roll-ups from heat and drain on paper towels if needed. Serve with your preferred toppings such as powdered sugar, honey, maple syrup, or whipped cream.

Notes

  • Use slightly stale bread for best results as it soaks up batter without falling apart.
  • Avoid overfilling the roll-ups to prevent spillage during cooking.
  • Cook on medium heat to brown the roll-ups evenly without burning.
  • Seal edges by pinching bread slightly to keep fillings inside while frying.
  • Use parchment or wax paper to roll bread tightly before dipping to help maintain shape.
