French Toast Roll-Ups
French Toast Roll-Ups have cream cheese, fruit, or whatever fillings you like rolled up in cinnamon sugar bread. Impressive and crowd pleasing, you’ll love these French Toast Roll-Ups for breakfast.
FRENCH TOAST ROLL-UPS
We had a rough weekend. Without getting into too much detail, my baby girl had a stomach bug and my husband had food poisoning from a local fast food joint. Our washing machine was on overload.
After a full day out of commission I joked to my husband that he might have to cancel his golf tee time the following day.
But imagine that, he squeaked out the energy to make it. Amazing. I guess you could say I’m in need of a little relaxation. A pedicure might not hurt either.
Mother’s Day can not come soon enough. If you’re pampering the mom in your life this weekend, fix her these French Toast Roll-Ups. Of course you could make regular French toast but why not switch it up with these. They look gourmet and melt in your mouth.
I ate 7 out of the 8 of them just to make sure.
And if you love these, you’ll love this Lemon Blueberry Crescent Ring and this Blueberry Croissant Puff.
HOW TO MAKE FRENCH TOAST ROLL-UPS
Just take regular soft white bread and cut the crusts off.
Using a rolling pin, flatten the pieces out.
Place whatever filling you like inside towards the end of the piece of bread. I love softened cream cheese topped with diced strawberries.
Nutella with strawberries is really good too.
Roll those babies up.
Dip them in an egg/mixture just like you would regular French toast.
As soon as you’ve browned them in a skillet roll them in some cinnamon/sugar.
Breakfast is served! This French Toast is one of my favorite breakfast treats.
HOW TO MAKE FRENCH TOAST ROLL-UPS
-
Cut the crust from each slice of bread and flatten it out with a rolling pin.
-
Place about 1-2 teaspoons of your chosen filling 1 inch from one end of the bread in a strip. Roll the bread up tightly and repeat with the remaining pieces of bread. I really like cream cheese with diced strawberries as one combination and Nutella with diced strawberries as another combination.
-
In a shallow bowl whisk the eggs and milk until well combined.
-
In a separate shallow bowl mix the sugar with the cinnamon.
-
Heat a skillet set over medium heat and melt a tablespoon of butter.
-
Dip each bread roll in the egg mixture coating well and then place them in the pan seam side down. Cook in batches until golden brown, turning them to cook and brown on all sides, about 2 minutes per side. Add butter to the pan as needed.
-
Add cooked rolls immediately from the pan to the cinnamon sugar and roll until completely covered in sugar. You can serve with syrup for dipping but I think they’re perfectly good all by themselves.

It looks soo tasty. And also so easy. I Must try it. Thanks for this beautiful idea
You’re welcome!
I was wondering how would it taste and look like if I was to use frozen strawberries?
Hmmm. Haven’t tried it.
Do these need to be served hot or warms? I am having a brunch and want make them ahead of time.
I prefer them warm for sure.
My sister turned me on to these top 10 recipes today, and now I have supper tonight! Woo-hoo! Yes, we frequently eat breakfast foods for supper, especially ones that are more like dessert! 😉
Great idea! I love it.
I made these today except I use peanut butter and banana. They turned out pretty good though.
I make a similar dessert with no eggs. Bread slice can also be cut in half, filling added, then other half stacked. Dip in melted butter or milk, then roll in sugar. Love the Gnutella idea.
I just tried these today and they were AH-MAZING! Although I found them on Facebook( on Buzzfeed) and I searched a recipe to follow, since Buzzfeed just had a video. Since on Facebook, they spread cream cheese on the whole piece of bread, that’s what we did, and it was delicious that way. It made it taste almost like a pastry. Delicious! Thanks for sharing.
You’re welcome!
These look so YUMMY! I can’t wait to make them for the family! Or the next office brunch!
I would love to make a bunch of these for my husband but i’d like to save some for the week. Would it be better to keep them in the fridge and microwave or freeze and microwave/oven?
Thanks so much!! I also want to know the same thing for the bacon roll as well. 🙂
You could freeze them or keep them in the fridge. They definitely would toast up in the oven better. The microwave might make them soggy.
Just tried these for the first time today and they were so delicious! Thank you!! 🙂
Great idea! The kids are going to go crazy over these and I think they’ll taste pretty good too. I can’t wait to give these a try in the morning.
We make something similar called Cinnamon Snails. We prep the bread like you do, speak cream cheese then roll up the slices and cut them into thirds. Then just roll in butter and cinnamon sugar mixture and bake 350 for 10-12 minutes. They are delicious and the kids love making them. I’ll definitely be trying your version soon!
Ooh! I like your version!
I tried these out and loved them!! I didn’t have any milk so I used some vanilla coffee creamer and it tasted fantastic, thanks for this recipe!
You’re welcome!
genius
Wow this is great. Gave my E-Mail and looking forward to hearing about more. Thank you.
Do these need to be eaten straight away or can they be served cold at morning tea time?
I definitely think they would be best warm but I’ve never tried them cold.
I’ve had them at room temperature and they’re still delicious 🙂
I love breakfast food anytime of the day! This recipe looks amazing! Can’t wait to try it!!
These are so good! I am a very far cry from a domestic goddess (even my sponge cakes turn out flat) but even i found these really easy and they taste so good, using them to impress the family now!
yumm ommg
oh!!! i already try this but i use sweet ham and then cheese, instead of strawberry, nutella and cream cheese… and every time i put on the table on an occasion its always the first one to be empty plated……
Next Saturday breakfast idea! You rock my socks!!
From what I read your recipe is a big hit 🙂
Can egg be replaced with something similar?
Answer to my own question:
1 TBS of ground flax and 3 TBS of water equal 1 egg.
Mix well and let it sit for 5 minutes – beat occassionally with fork or spoon.
Brush bread with mixture.
Egg can be omitted. Dip in melted butter or milk. The result is
the same.
Looks so good, I’m going to try this.
I made these the other night and me and my daughters absolutely loved them they were sooooo good
omg looks soo good!! I can’t wait to try these this weekend. Thanks
I made these and they came out Awesome!
This recipe was absolutely a winner. Loved how incredibly easy it was to make and how the ingredients were all items that I personally have in my kitchen. I made these for a church breakfast — I think they were even better because they had time to rest as I toted them over to the church in an 8 x 8 pan (just for convenience) and they sat in the sauce for a good 20 minutes before consumption, as a result. Thank you for sharing!
Any ideas in how to make these without using the egg to dip them in? I want to try them because my oldest son will love them but my youngest has an egg allergy.
The egg just adds extra binding. I would still try it without the egg.
sooo delicious! only problem was that when i took them off of the pan, the cinnamon sugar didnt stick very well. but besides that they were amazing!!
Where did u get the mini rolling pin? I have never seen
Them before but it looks like a good thing to have!
It’s awesome. It’s from pampered chef.
