Ingredients
Scale
Bread and Filling
- 8 slices of bread
- 1 cup of sliced strawberries
Batter
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup of milk
- 1 teaspoon of cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon of vanilla extract
For Cooking and Garnish
- 2 tablespoons of butter
- Powdered sugar for dusting
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.
