Ingredients

• Bread: You can use any type of bread for French toast roll-ups. White or whole-wheat bread works best. You can choose to trim the crusts off for a smoother roll-up or leave them on if you prefer a more rustic feel.

• Peanut butter, Biscoff, and Nutella (for spreading): These are some options for filling your roll-ups.

• Egg: The egg helps create the custard coating that gives the roll-ups their signature French toast texture. It makes the outside crispy while keeping the inside soft.

• Vanilla: A touch of vanilla adds warmth and depth to the custard, making the roll-ups taste even more delicious.

• Butter: Frying the roll-ups in butter gives them a golden, crispy finish and adds a rich, savory touch to balance the sweetness.

• Granulated sugar and cinnamon: After frying, you can roll the French toast roll-ups in sugar and cinnamon mixture for an extra layer of sweetness and crunch.

How to make french toast roll-ups

• Prepare the bread: Take 6 slices of bread and, if you like, trim off the crusts. Use a rolling pin to flatten each slice.

• Add the filling: Spread your choice of filling—peanut butter, Biscoff, or Nutella—on one side of each flattened slice. Roll up the bread tightly.

• Make the custard: In a shallow bowl, whisk together egg, vanilla extract, sugar, and milk.

• Dip the rolls: Dip each rolled-up bread in the egg mixture, ensuring it's fully coated.

• Cook the roll-ups: Heat 2 tablespoon of butter in a frying pan over medium heat. Fry the roll-ups in the butter, turning them to cook each side until golden brown and crispy.

• Coating: Mix 2 tablespoon of granulated sugar with 1 teaspoon of cinnamon in a small bowl. Roll the freshly cooked French toast roll-ups in the cinnamon sugar mixture. Serve warm, with your favorite toppings or just as they are!

Helpful tips

• Use day-old bread: Slightly stale bread absorbs the custard better without getting too soggy. Fresh bread can still work, but day-old slices hold up better.

• Don't over-soak: Dip the rolled bread quickly in the egg mixture. Over-soaking can make the bread fall apart or get too soggy when frying.

• Control the heat: Cook on medium heat to avoid burning the butter or roll-ups. Low heat can make them soggy, while high heat can burn the outsides too quickly.

• Cinnamon sugar after cooking: For a crispy, sweet coating, roll the hot French toast roll-ups in the cinnamon sugar immediately after frying. This helps the sugar stick better.

• Experiment with fillings: Besides peanut butter, Nutella, or Biscoff, you can use fruit spreads, cream cheese, or even fresh fruits like bananas or strawberries for different flavors.

• Serve with dipping sauces: Add an extra touch by serving your roll-ups with a side of maple syrup, whipped cream, or chocolate sauce for dipping.
