Instructions

Flatten the bread: Use a rolling pin to gently flatten each slice of bread so it becomes thin and pliable, making it easier to roll.
Prepare the egg mixture: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, cinnamon, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
Dip and fill the bread: Dip each flattened bread slice into the egg mixture, coating it thoroughly. Then, arrange sliced strawberries evenly on top of each slice.
Roll the bread: Carefully roll up each slice of bread to enclose the strawberry filling. Use toothpicks to secure the ends and keep the rolls intact during cooking.
Heat the skillet: Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat, ensuring the surface is coated and hot enough for cooking.
Cook the rolls: Place the French toast rolls in the skillet and cook, turning occasionally, until all sides are golden brown and slightly crispy.
Finish and serve: Remove the rolls from the skillet and take out the toothpicks. Dust them generously with powdered sugar before serving.
Enjoy: Serve the strawberry French toast rolls hot for a warm, sweet breakfast or brunch treat.

Notes

Use day-old bread for easier rolling and better texture.
Ensure the egg mixture coats the bread well to avoid sogginess.
Be gentle when rolling to prevent the filling from spilling out.
Adjust cinnamon quantity to taste.
Serve with syrup or whipped cream for extra indulgence.
Can be made with gluten-free bread for a gluten-free option.
