How to Make the Recipe

Now, let’s get cooking! Follow these simple steps to create your French Toast Roll-Ups:

1. In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt 3 tablespoons of butter until just melted. With a fork, stir in 3 tablespoons of granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons of brown sugar, and 1 tablespoon of cinnamon until a smooth spreadable mixture forms. Set aside.
2. In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk. Set aside.
3. In another small bowl, stir together 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar with 2 teaspoons of cinnamon. Set aside.
4. After trimming the crusts from each slice of bread, roll one slice out to about 1/8-inch thickness with a rolling pin. Spread each slice with a thin layer of the butter mixture and roll up tightly. Repeat with the remaining bread slices and butter mixture.
5. Place 3 tablespoons of butter in a large non-stick sauté pan and let melt over medium heat. (If using a small sauté pan, use just 2 tablespoons of butter and sauté the roll-ups in two batches.) Dip one roll at a time in the egg mixture and place in the sauté pan. Allow roll-ups to sauté for 1-2 minutes per side until golden brown and slightly crisp on the outside. Remove to a work surface and sprinkle each roll-up generously with the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
6. Serve immediately with maple syrup.

Pro Tips for Making the Recipe

Here are some of my favorite tips to ensure your French Toast Roll-Ups turn out perfectly:

• Use soft white bread for the best texture. You can also try brioche or challah for a richer flavor!
• Don’t skip the rolling step; it helps to keep the filling inside and makes for a delightful bite.
• Feel free to experiment with fillings! Nutella, cream cheese, or even fresh fruit can add a fun twist.
• For a healthier option, consider using whole grain bread and reducing the sugar in the filling.
• These roll-ups are also great for meal prep! Make a batch ahead of time and reheat them in the toaster or microwave.

How to Serve

These French Toast Roll-Ups are best served warm and drizzled with maple syrup. You can also add a sprinkle of powdered sugar or fresh berries on top for an extra touch of sweetness. They make a fantastic addition to any brunch table or a cozy family breakfast. Pair them with a side of crispy bacon or some fresh fruit for a complete meal!

Make Ahead and Storage

If you want to prepare these roll-ups in advance, you can assemble them the night before and store them in the refrigerator. Just remember to dip them in the egg mixture and cook them in the morning for the best results. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat them in the microwave or toaster oven for a quick breakfast treat!
