Cream Cheese French Toast Roll-Ups

Introduction

Cream Cheese French Toast Roll-Ups are a delightful twist on a breakfast classic, blending the decadence of stuffed French toast with the fun, finger-food style of roll-ups. Their creamy, tangy filling paired with golden, cinnamon-kissed bread makes them irresistible for brunches, special breakfasts, or even as a sweet snack. These bite-sized treats are guaranteed to disappear quickly at any table, making them a sure crowd-pleaser.

Why Cream Cheese French Toast Roll-Ups Stand Out

These roll-ups are not only visually enticing but also deliver that perfect blend of crispy exterior and creamy interior. The cream cheese filling can be customized with fresh fruit, jam, or chocolate, allowing you to tailor the flavor to your guest’s preferences. Plus, their compact size means they’re easy to serve and enjoy—no messy forks required!

Prepping Your Ingredients the Smart Way

Start with soft, fresh bread for easy rolling. To make assembly fast and precise, use the Mueller Pro-Series 10-in-1, 8 Blade Vegetable Chopper to effortlessly dice any fruits you’d like to add to your filling—think strawberries or peaches. When it comes to slicing and flattening bread, a Bamboo Cutting Board provides the ideal workspace, preventing slipping and making cleanup easy.

Rolling and Filling Your French Toast Roll-Ups

Spread a generous layer of lightly sweetened cream cheese over each slice of flattened bread. Add diced fruit or a spoonful of jam if desired. Roll each piece tightly, sealing the edges for the perfect enclosure.

For a uniform, clean presentation—and to prevent sticking—prepare your baking tray with a sheet of Reynolds Kitchens Brown Parchment Paper Roll. This helps the roll-ups bake or fry evenly and makes cleanup a breeze.

Cooking Your Roll-Ups to Golden Perfection

Dip each roll-up in an egg-milk mixture, making sure every side is coated. For the crispiest results on the stovetop, use a SENSARTE Nonstick Frying Pan Skillet, 9.5 Inch to toast your roll-ups in a bit of butter. Alternatively, for a lighter option, you can make these in a COSORI Air Fryer 9-in-1—they come out beautifully browned and just as satisfying.

Serve these golden beauties with a drizzle of maple syrup, dusted with powdered sugar, or alongside a small bowl of fresh berries. Store any leftovers in Rubbermaid Brilliance Food Storage Containers to keep them fresh for snacking or a grab-and-go breakfast the next morning.

Instructions

1. Flatten each slice of bread with a rolling pin. Lay them out on a Bamboo Cutting Board for easy assembly.

5. Heat a SENSARTE Nonstick Frying Pan Skillet, 9.5 Inch over medium heat and melt 1 tablespoon butter. Dip each roll-up in the egg mixture, coating all sides.
