French Toast Roll-Ups – Sweet success! These indulgent breakfast pastries create the perfect union between famous Cinnamon Rolls and French toast. Fresh and juicy berries add a delicious touch that you will love!
Weekend mornings are those pampering moments when you are not in a hurry and can wake up later to prepare the best late breakfast for your family.
French toasts are actually slices of toast bread generously soaked in cinnamon egg&milk mixture and fried in a good amount of butter. You know what I’m talking about, don’t you? It is the sweetness of our childhood, that magical dessert that takes us back in time, to grandma’s house, when we wait impatiently, gathered around the table, that big plate, full of mouth-watering treats.
Sometimes, when the child in me “wakes up” craving for a sweet portion of childhood memories, I know what I have to do. I put on my apron and try to reproduce the aroma and sweetness of childhood delights. In addition to that traditional recipe that you can find here, today I tried to make a new version – French toast roll-ups – greased with cream cheese, filled with fresh strawberries and blueberries, soaked through in egg&milk bath, and then coated well in cinnamon-flavored sugar.
I had French toast roll-ups recipe pinned for a long time, but the impression that I will have to spend a lot of time cooking made me always postpone it. My kids are big fans of French toast, and to make them happy, I always try to surprise them. This recipe has real success. Surely it is not the healthiest dessert, as it has enough sugar, but fresh berries and cream cheese raise it to a beneficial level.
I could easily declare it the simplest dessert in the world. Anyone can do it, and it is definitely to everyone’s taste, big and small alike. Be careful, it is addictive!

How to make French Toast Roll-ups?
French toast roll-ups can serve you a hearty and delicious breakfast that even your children will be amazed by. Mine declared them tastier than the traditional French toast, so I invite you to try this roll-ups recipe too.
Take fresh slices of toast bread and trim its crust. Grab a rolling pin and flatten the bread out, nice and thin. Spread softened cream cheese evenly on each slice of bread and top with chopped strawberries and blueberries. Roll up tightly the bread slices. Set aside.
Crack the eggs in a mixing bowl. Add milk, a pinch of salt, ½ tablespoon of sugar, and one teaspoon of cinnamon powder. Whisk all together.
Preheat a skillet with two tablespoons of unsalted butter. Dip prepared rolls in egg mixture like you would with French toast. Fry rolls for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and slightly crisp crust.
Meanwhile, on a separate plate, combine cinnamon and sugar. Once cooked, dip each roll immediately into the sugar-cinnamon mixture. Serve warm.
French toast roll-ups taste amazing on their own, but some maple syrup drizzled over or whipping cream will make them even more scrumptious.
