Directions

Prepare the Filling: In a small bowl, mix together the cream cheese and strawberry preserves until smooth.

Prepare the Bread: Flatten the bread slices using a rolling pin to make them easier to roll.

Assemble Roll-Ups: Spread a thin layer of the strawberry cream cheese mixture on each slice of bread. Roll up the bread tightly to enclose the filling.

Prepare Egg Mixture: In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, and vanilla extract.

Coat and Fry: Heat a large skillet over medium heat and melt some butter. Dip each roll-up in the egg mixture, ensuring it’s well coated. Fry the roll-ups, turning occasionally, until golden brown on all sides.

Cinnamon Sugar: Mix the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon in a shallow dish. Roll the hot roll-ups in the cinnamon sugar mixture until well coated.

Serve: Serve the roll-ups warm, optionally with extra strawberry preserves or fresh strawberries on the side for dipping or topping.

Storage/Reheating

These Strawberry Cream Cheese French Toast Roll-Ups are best enjoyed fresh, but I know life gets busy, so here are some storage tips. If you have leftovers, I recommend storing them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, simply place them in a toaster oven or regular oven at 350°F for 5-7 minutes until they’re warm and crispy again. You can also heat them in a skillet over medium heat for a couple of minutes per side.

FAQs

How do I make sure the bread doesn't tear when I roll it up?

I like to use a rolling pin to flatten the bread slices before adding the filling. This makes the bread more pliable and less likely to tear when I roll it up.

Can I use a different type of jam or preserves?

Absolutely! While I love the strawberry preserves in this recipe, feel free to swap it with any fruit preserve or jam you prefer, like raspberry, blueberry, or even apricot.

Can I make these ahead of time?

You can assemble the roll-ups ahead of time and store them in the refrigerator for up to a day. Just make sure to cook them fresh when you're ready to serve for the best results.

Can I bake these instead of frying them?

Yes, you can bake the roll-ups if you prefer. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, and bake them at 375°F for about 10-12 minutes, turning halfway through, until they’re golden and crispy.

Can I use whole wheat bread instead of white bread?

Definitely! Whole wheat bread will work just fine. It might change the flavor slightly, but the texture and filling will still be delicious.

Conclusion

These Strawberry Cream Cheese French Toast Roll-Ups are a perfect way to start the day. They’re sweet, creamy, and crispy all at once, and they come together in just 25 minutes. Whether you’re making them for a special brunch or simply treating yourself, I know they will be a hit!
