Ingredients:

• 8 slices of white bread
• 4 oz. cream cheese, softened
• 1/4 cup powdered sugar
• 1 tsp. vanilla extract
• 1 cup diced strawberries
• 2 eggs
• 1/4 cup milk
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tsp. ground cinnamon
• 2 tbsp. unsalted butter
• Maple syrup, for serving

Tips:

• Make sure to use soft bread for the roll ups, as it will be easier to roll without tearing.
• Use room temperature cream cheese for easier spreading.
• You can make the filling ahead of time and keep it refrigerated until ready to use.
• If you don’t have fresh strawberries, you can use frozen strawberries instead.
• If you prefer a sweeter roll up, increase the amount of powdered sugar in the filling.
• Use a serrated knife to cut the crusts off the bread for a neater appearance.

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. In a medium bowl, beat together the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Stir in the diced strawberries.
2. Use a rolling pin to flatten each slice of bread. Spread a tablespoon of the cream cheese mixture on each slice, leaving a small border around the edges.
3. Roll up the bread tightly, pressing gently to seal the edges.
4. In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, granulated sugar, and cinnamon.
5. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the butter and let it melt.
6. Dip each bread roll up in the egg mixture, turning to coat all sides. Place the roll ups seam-side down in the skillet.
7. Cook the roll ups for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Repeat with the remaining roll ups, adding more butter to the skillet as needed.
8. Serve the roll ups warm with maple syrup for dipping.

    

    

   Here are some more tips and detailed instructions for making the perfect Strawberry French Toast Roll Ups:

   Tips:

   • To ensure that your roll ups don’t fall apart while cooking, be sure to roll them up tightly and seal the edges well.
   • If you’re having trouble rolling up the bread, try slightly flattening it with a rolling pin before adding the filling.
   • For a more even coating of the egg mixture, use a fork to pierce the roll ups a few times before dipping them.
   • Be careful not to overcrowd the skillet, as this can make it difficult to flip the roll ups without them sticking together.
   • You can also make these roll ups ahead of time and reheat them in the oven or microwave before serving.
