Ingredients

Scale

Bread and Egg Mixture

  • 12 slices white sandwich bread
  • 2 large eggs
  • ¼ cup half-and-half
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Cinnamon Sugar Coating

  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Filling

  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 4 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 5 to 6 ripe strawberries, capped and sliced very thin

For Cooking

  • 3 tablespoons salted sweet cream butter

Instructions

  1. Flatten the Bread: Using a rolling pin, flatten each slice of white sandwich bread to make it easy to roll up.
  2. Trim Edges: Cut off the crust edges of the bread slices. Cover the flattened bread with a clean towel to prevent drying out.
  3. Prepare Egg Mixture: In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, half-and-half, and vanilla extract until fully combined. Set aside.
  4. Mix Cinnamon Sugar: In a shallow dish or pie plate, combine the ground cinnamon and granulated sugar thoroughly. Set aside.
  5. Make Cream Cheese Filling: Stir together the softened cream cheese and sugar in a small bowl until smooth and fully incorporated.
  6. Assemble Roll-Ups: Spread approximately 2½ tablespoons of the cream cheese mixture onto one end of each flattened bread slice. Layer the thinly sliced strawberries evenly over the cream cheese. Carefully roll the bread slices up without pressing too hard to avoid squeezing out the filling. Repeat for all slices and set aside.
  7. Heat Butter: Place a 10 to 12-inch skillet over medium to medium-high heat and melt the salted sweet cream butter, ensuring it coats the surface evenly.
  8. Cook Roll-Ups: Dip each roll-up into the egg mixture, ensuring it is evenly coated, then place it carefully in the hot skillet. Keep the roll-ups spaced so they can be turned easily and monitor the heat to prevent the butter from burning.
  9. Brown Evenly: Using tongs, turn each roll-up a quarter turn at a time, allowing them to become golden brown on all sides.
  10. Cinnamon Sugar Coating: Once golden brown, remove each roll-up from the skillet and immediately roll them in the cinnamon-sugar mixture, ensuring full coverage.
  11. Serve: Serve the French Toast Roll-Ups hot for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Use white sandwich bread for the best roll-up consistency and texture.
  • Make sure the cream cheese is softened to easily mix with sugar and spread smoothly.
  • Thinly slice strawberries to prevent the roll-up from bursting or becoming overly bulky.
  • Maintain medium heat to avoid burning the butter or the roll-ups.
  • Serve immediately after cooking for warm and crispy results.
