How to Make the Recipe

Now, let’s get cooking! Follow these simple steps to create your French Toast Roll-Ups:

1. In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt 3 tablespoons of butter until just melted. With a fork, stir in 3 tablespoons of granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons of brown sugar, and 1 tablespoon of cinnamon until a smooth spreadable mixture forms. Set aside.
2. In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk. Set aside.
3. In another small bowl, stir together 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar with 2 teaspoons of cinnamon. Set aside.
4. After trimming the crusts from each slice of bread, roll one slice out to about 1/8-inch thickness with a rolling pin. Spread each slice with a thin layer of the butter mixture and roll up tightly. Repeat with the remaining bread slices and butter mixture.
5. Place 3 tablespoons of butter in a large non-stick sauté pan and let melt over medium heat. (If using a small sauté pan, use just 2 tablespoons of butter and sauté the roll-ups in two batches.) Dip one roll at a time in the egg mixture and place in the sauté pan. Allow roll-ups to sauté for 1-2 minutes per side until golden brown and slightly crisp on the outside. Remove to a work surface and sprinkle each roll-up generously with the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
6. Serve immediately with maple syrup.

Pro Tips for Making the Recipe

Here are some helpful suggestions to ensure your French Toast Roll-Ups turn out perfectly:

• For a fun twist, try adding cream cheese or Nutella as a filling before rolling them up!
• Make sure to roll the bread tightly to prevent the filling from spilling out during cooking.
• Keep the heat at medium to avoid burning the outside while ensuring the inside cooks through.
• These roll-ups can be made ahead of time and reheated in the oven for a quick breakfast option.

How to Serve

These French Toast Roll-Ups are best served warm and fresh off the pan. Drizzle with maple syrup for that classic touch, or get creative with toppings! Here are some serving suggestions:

• Top with fresh berries for a burst of flavor and color.
• Sprinkle with powdered sugar for an elegant finish.
• Pair with a side of crispy bacon or sausage for a hearty breakfast.
• For a delightful dessert, serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream!

Make Ahead and Storage

If you want to enjoy these delicious roll-ups later, here are some tips for making them ahead of time:

• Prepare the roll-ups and store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
• Reheat in the oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes or until warmed through.
• For longer storage, freeze the cooked roll-ups in a single layer, then transfer to a freezer bag. They can be reheated directly from frozen.

These French Toast Roll-Ups are not just a breakfast treat; they can also be a part of your quick family dinners or even a sweet addition to your easy pasta recipes night! So, gather your family and enjoy this delightful dish that’s sure to become a favorite. Happy cooking!
