French Toast Roll Ups with Strawberries and Cream Recipe

Introduction

French Toast Roll Ups are a fun and delicious twist on classic French toast, featuring soft flatbread wrapped around creamy filling and fresh strawberries. These roll ups can be served whole or sliced into bite-sized pinwheels, perfect for breakfast or a sweet snack.

Ingredients

• 1 package Flatout Original Flatbread (7 total)
• Butter to grease skillet
• Toothpicks (optional)
• 5 eggs
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 12 oz. cream cheese, softened
• 1 – 1 1/2 lbs strawberries, thinly sliced
• Powdered sugar (for garnish)
• Syrup (for serving)

Instructions

1. Step 1: In a long shallow dish, whisk together eggs, milk, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and cinnamon to create the French toast batter. Set aside.
2. Step 2: Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, then reduce to medium. Grease the skillet with butter.
3. Step 3: One at a time, submerge each flatbread in the batter, letting the excess drip off. Place flatbread in the skillet and cook for 45-60 seconds per side, or until golden brown. Transfer cooked flatbreads to a plate and repeat with remaining flatbreads.
4. Step 4: You can serve the French toast roll ups plain with syrup or fill them. To prepare the strawberries and cream filling, evenly spread about 2 heaping tablespoons of softened cream cheese over each flatbread.
5. Step 5: Layer the thinly sliced strawberries evenly over the cream cheese. Sprinkle the strawberries with about 1 teaspoon powdered sugar, then roll the flatbread up tightly.
6. Step 6: Sprinkle additional powdered sugar over the rolled flatbreads. Serve whole as roll ups or slice into ½-inch pinwheels. If serving pinwheels on a platter, secure each slice with a toothpick. Enjoy with syrup for dipping.

Tips & Variations

• Substitute strawberries with other fresh fruits like blueberries, bananas, or peaches for a different flavor.
• Try adding a spread of Nutella or peanut butter along with the cream cheese for a richer filling.
• Ensure the skillet is well greased and hot enough to get a golden crust without overcooking.
• Serve immediately for best texture, but they can be gently reheated before serving.

Storage

Store any leftover French Toast Roll Ups in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in a microwave or oven to avoid sogginess. For best taste and texture, consume them fresh.

FAQs

Can I use regular bread instead of flatbread?

While regular bread can be used, flatbread is thinner and easier to roll, making it ideal for roll ups. If using regular bread, flatten slices with a rolling pin to prevent tearing when rolling.

Can I prepare these ahead of time?

You can prepare the French toast and filling separately ahead of time, but assemble the roll ups just before serving to keep the bread from becoming soggy.

Notes

• You can customize the filling with other fruits or spreads such as Nutella, peanut butter, bananas, or blueberries for variety.
• If you prefer a dairy-free version, substitute cream cheese with a vegan or lactose-free alternative.
• Be careful not to oversoak the flatbreads in the batter to prevent sogginess.
• These roll ups are best enjoyed fresh but can be refrigerated and gently reheated.
• Use toothpicks if serving as finger foods to keep pinwheels from unrolling.
