BFMH (and Auntie): French Toast Rollups

This bad boy has been floating around Pinterest for a while... so I figured it was time to try it out while Auntie was here!

French Toast Roll Ups

Ingredients

8 slices white sandwich bread

softened cream cheese, diced strawberries, or Nutella

2 eggs

3 tablespoons milk

1/3 cup granulated sugar

1 heaping teaspoon ground cinnamon

butter, for greasing the pan

Instructions

Cut the crust from each slice of bread and flatten it out with a rolling pin.

Place about 1-2 teaspoons of your chosen filling 1 inch from one end of the bread in a strip. Roll the bread up tightly and repeat with the remaining pieces of bread. I really like cream cheese with diced strawberries as one combination and Nutella with diced strawberries as another combination.

In a shallow bowl whisk the eggs and milk until well combined.

In a separate shallow bowl mix the sugar with the cinnamon.

Heat a skillet set over medium heat and melt a tablespoon of butter.

Dip each bread roll in the egg mixture coating well and then place them in the pan seam side down. Cook in batches until golden brown, turning them to cook and brown on all sides, about 2 minutes per side. Add butter to the pan as needed.

Add cooked rolls immediately from the pan to the cinnamon sugar and roll until completely covered in sugar. You can serve with syrup for dipping but I think they're perfectly good all by themselves.

I used Peanut Butter and Cherry Jelly as well as Cream Cheese and Cherry Jelly. 

I asked Husband for a review and he responded with: Delightful! Biggest hit of the summer! A must see!

While when I asked Auntie, she was a bit more put together on it: This is a wonderful Blintz substitution. Less work yet all the flavor.

I think I need Auntie around more often as her reviews are much more concise. *eye roll with smile to Husband*

My personal review is that this will be made again some day and could easily become a favorite of our someday maybe children. I loved them personally, but I might be biased. I mean they WERE rolled in cinnamon sugar....

What do you think?
