Ingredients
Scale
For the Rolls
- 8 slices of bread
- 1 cup of sliced strawberries
For the Egg Mixture
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup of milk
- 1 teaspoon of cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon of vanilla extract
For Cooking and Serving
- 2 tablespoons of butter
- Powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
- Flatten the bread: Use a rolling pin to gently flatten each slice of bread until thin and pliable, making it easier to roll without tearing.
- Prepare the egg mixture: In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, cinnamon, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Dip the bread: Dip each flattened slice of bread into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are fully coated to infuse flavor and help with cooking.
- Add strawberries and roll: Place a layer of sliced strawberries on one edge of each coated bread slice, then carefully roll it up. Use toothpicks to secure the ends and keep the rolls intact during cooking.
- Heat the skillet and melt butter: Place a skillet on medium heat and melt the butter, making sure it coats the pan evenly for a golden crust.
- Cook the rolls: Place the French toast rolls in the skillet and cook, turning occasionally, until all sides are golden brown and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes per side.
- Remove toothpicks and finish: Carefully remove the toothpicks from the rolls and transfer them to a serving plate. Dust generously with powdered sugar for an appealing sweet finish.
- Serve: Serve the strawberry French toast rolls hot, allowing the warm, fruity filling and cinnamon-infused crust to delight your taste buds.
Notes
- You can substitute regular bread with whole wheat or gluten-free bread for different dietary needs.
- For a richer flavor, consider adding a little orange zest to the egg mixture.
- To prevent the bread from soaking too much, flatten it just enough without tearing.
- Serve immediately for the best texture, as the rolls may become soggy if left to sit.
- Optional: serve with maple syrup or whipped cream for extra indulgence.
