Servings: 6 roll ups
Ingredients
- 6 bread slices
- peanut butter, Biscoff, Nutella for spreading
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1-2 tablespoon granulated sugar
- ¼ cup whole milk
- 2 tablespoon butter
cinnamon sugar coating
- 2 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
- Trim off the edges of the bread, or you can leave them on if you prefer. Then, use a rolling pin to flatten each slice.
- Spread your choice of filling—peanut butter, Biscoff, or Nutella—on one side of each flattened slice. Roll up the bread tightly.
- In a shallow bowl, whisk together egg, vanilla extract, sugar, and milk.
- Dip each rolled-up bread in the egg mixture, ensuring it's fully coated.
- 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.
- 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!
Notes
- Slightly stale bread absorbs the custard better without getting too soggy.
- Don't over soak the bread in the egg mixture. Over-soaking can make the bread fall apart or get too soggy when frying.
- 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.
- Besides peanut butter, Nutella, or Biscoff, you can use fruit spreads, cream cheese, or even fresh fruits like bananas or strawberries for different flavors.
