Ingredients
Scale
French Toast Batter
- 5 eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
Main Ingredients
- 1 package (7 total) Flatout Original Flatbread
- Butter, for greasing skillet
Strawberries and Cream Filling
- 12 oz. cream cheese, softened
- 1 to 1 1/2 lbs strawberries, thinly sliced
- 1 teaspoon powdered sugar (for sprinkling on strawberries)
- Additional powdered sugar, for garnish
- Syrup, for serving
- Toothpicks (optional, for securing pinwheels)
Instructions
- Prepare the French Toast Batter: In a long shallow dish, thoroughly whisk together eggs, milk, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and cinnamon until well combined. Set the batter aside for dipping.
- Preheat and Grease Skillet: Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, then reduce to medium. Lightly grease the skillet with butter to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
- Cook the Flatbreads: Working one flatbread at a time, dip it fully into the French toast batter, allowing excess to drip off. Place the battered flatbread onto the skillet and cook for 45 to 60 seconds per side or until each side is golden brown. Transfer cooked flatbread to a plate and repeat with the remaining flatbreads. There will be some batter left over.
- Roll and Serve Plain or Prepare Filling: At this point you can roll up the French toast flatbreads as is and serve with syrup, or continue to make the strawberries and cream filling.
- Spread Cream Cheese and Add Strawberries: Evenly spread about 2 heaping tablespoons of softened cream cheese over the top surface of each warm French toast flatbread. Then, evenly layer thinly sliced strawberries on top of the cream cheese layer. Lightly sprinkle strawberries with 1 teaspoon powdered sugar to enhance sweetness.
- Roll Up and Garnish: Roll each flatbread up tightly to encase the cream cheese and strawberries. Sprinkle the rolled items with additional powdered sugar for a beautiful finish.
- Slice into Pinwheels (Optional): For bite-sized servings, slice the rolls into 1/2-inch thick pinwheels. Secure each pinwheel with a toothpick if serving on a platter to keep them intact.
- Serve: Serve the French Toast Roll Ups or Pinwheels warm alongside syrup for dipping or drizzling. Enjoy immediately for best texture and flavor.
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.
