Description

These strawberry cheesecake french toast roll-ups are a sweet, creamy brunch treat filled with fresh berries and cinnamon sugar.

Ingredients

(for 8 rolls)

115g cream cheese, softened
35g icing sugar
4 large strawberries, diced
8 slices of fresh bread (soft white or sandwich bread works best)
1 large egg
60ml milk
2 tbsp granulated sugar
1/4 tsp vanilla extract
1–2 tbsp butter (for frying)

For Cinnamon Sugar Coating:

3 tbsp granulated sugar
1 tsp cinnamon

Optional for serving:

Maple syrup
Extra strawberries
Whipped cream

Instructions

1. Make the Filling
In a small bowl, mix the softened cream cheese and icing sugar until smooth. Gently fold in the diced strawberries. Set aside.

2. Prepare the Bread
Cut the crusts off each slice of bread. Using a rolling pin, flatten each slice gently. This makes the bread easier to roll and keeps it from tearing.

3. Assemble the Roll-Ups
Spread a spoonful of the cream cheese mixture onto one end of each slice of bread. Roll up tightly from the filled end, pressing gently to seal.

4. Prepare the Egg Mixture
In a shallow bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, 2 tbsp of sugar, and vanilla extract.

5. Dip and Cook
Heat butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Dip each roll-up in the egg mixture, ensuring it’s fully coated. Cook in the pan for 2–3 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy.

6. Coat in Cinnamon Sugar
Mix the cinnamon and sugar in a shallow plate. Roll the warm French toast roll-ups in the cinnamon sugar until coated.

7. Serve
Serve warm with maple syrup, whipped cream, or extra fruit, if desired.

Notes

Use room-temperature cream cheese for easier mixing.

The flatter the bread, the easier it rolls—press down firmly with your rolling pin.

Don’t overfill; a heaping teaspoon of filling is enough per roll.

You can prep the roll-ups the night before and cook in the morning for a faster breakfast.

Strawberries can be swapped with blueberries, raspberries, or even banana slices.
