Ingredients Notes For Strawberry Cheesecake French Toast Roll-Ups:

• Bread: Use soft, fresh white bread with the crusts trimmed for easy rolling.
• Strawberries: Fresh strawberries, diced small for the filling.
• Cream Cheese: Softened to room temperature to ensure a smooth filling.
• Eggs and Milk: For the French toast batter.
• Vanilla Extract: Adds flavor to both the cheesecake filling and the egg mixture.
• Cinnamon and Sugar: Mixed together for coating the roll-ups, providing a sweet, spiced finish.
• Butter: For frying, giving the roll-ups a golden and crispy exterior.

Recipe Steps:

1. Prepare the Cheesecake Filling:
   • In a bowl, mix softened cream cheese, a little sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Fold in finely diced strawberries.
2. Prepare the Bread:
   • Flatten the bread slices with a rolling pin to make them easier to roll. Spread a thin layer of the cheesecake filling on one edge of each slice.
3. Roll the Bread:
   • Carefully roll the bread around the filling, starting from the filled edge, to form a tight roll. Press gently to seal.
4. Make the French Toast Mixture:
   • In a shallow dish, whisk together eggs, milk, and a splash of vanilla.
5. Dip and Coat:
   • Dip each roll-up in the egg mixture, ensuring it is well-coated.
6. Cook:
   • Heat butter in a skillet over medium heat. Place the roll-ups in the skillet, seam side down. Cook until all sides are golden brown, turning occasionally.
7. Cinnamon-Sugar Coating:
   • Mix cinnamon and sugar in a shallow dish. Roll the cooked roll-ups in the mixture while they are still warm.
8. Serve:
   • Serve the roll-ups warm, with syrup, additional fresh strawberries, or a dollop of whipped cream.

Storage Options:

• Refrigerate: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
• Reheat: Warm them gently in a skillet or microwave to refresh the texture before serving.

Ingredients

 

For the Roll-Ups:

• ▢ 8-10 slices of white sandwich bread crusts removed
• ▢ 4 ounces cream cheese softened
• ▢ 1/2 cup strawberries finely chopped
• ▢ 1/4 cup granulated sugar or to taste
• ▢ 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• ▢ 2 large eggs
• ▢ 1/4 cup milk
• ▢ 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• ▢ 1/4 cup granulated sugar for the egg mixture
• ▢ Butter for frying

For Serving:

• ▢ Powdered sugar for dusting
• ▢ Maple syrup optional
• ▢ Extra sliced strawberries

Instructions

Prepare the Filling:

• In a small bowl, mix together the softened cream cheese, chopped strawberries, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until well combined.

Flatten the Bread:

• Use a rolling pin to flatten the bread slices to about 1/8-inch thickness, making them easier to roll without breaking.

Assemble the Roll-Ups:

• Spread a generous amount of the strawberry cream cheese mixture on each flattened bread slice, leaving a small border around the edges to prevent spilling.
• Roll up each slice tightly and set aside.

Prepare the Egg Mixture:

• In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, cinnamon, and 1/4 cup granulated sugar.

Cook the Roll-Ups:

• Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a bit of butter.
• Dip each roll-up in the egg mixture, allowing excess to drip off.
• Place the roll-ups in the skillet, seam side down, and cook until golden brown on all sides, turning as needed. This usually takes about 2-3 minutes per side.

Serve:

• Remove the cooked roll-ups from the skillet and immediately dust with powdered sugar.
• Serve hot with additional strawberry slices and maple syrup if desired.
