Ingredients
Scale
Bread & Filling
- 8 slices of bread
- 1 cup of sliced strawberries
Egg Mixture
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup of milk
- 1 teaspoon of cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon of vanilla extract
Cooking & Finishing
- 2 tablespoons of butter
- Powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
- Flatten the Bread: Use a rolling pin to flatten each slice of bread gently until it is thin but still intact, making it easier to roll.
- Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, cinnamon, and vanilla extract until fully combined and smooth.
- Dip and Fill: Dip each flattened bread slice into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are fully coated. Place sliced strawberries evenly over each slice.
- Roll the Bread: Carefully roll up each slice with the strawberries inside. Secure the ends with toothpicks to hold the shape during cooking.
- Heat the Skillet: Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat, preparing it for frying the rolls.
- Cook the Rolls: Place the French toast rolls seam side down in the skillet. Cook, turning occasionally, until each side is golden brown and the bread is cooked through, about 3-4 minutes per side.
- Finish and Serve: Remove toothpicks carefully, dust the rolls with powdered sugar, and serve immediately while hot for the best taste.
- Enjoy: Serve the strawberry French toast rolls fresh for a delicious breakfast or brunch treat.
Notes
- You can use white, whole wheat, or brioche bread for different textures and flavors.
- Make sure to flatten the bread gently to avoid tearing.
- Fresh strawberries are best, but frozen can be used if thawed and drained.
- If you prefer, substitute powdered sugar with maple syrup or honey for serving.
- To keep rolls secure without toothpicks, you can also use small strips of aluminum foil or kitchen twine.
