French Toast Roll-ups

Since we had a day off of school and work last week I decided to make something fun and special for breakfast for my kids. So naughty and so good! I came across this recipe on the-girl-who-ate-everything.com    I used wheat bread but I would definitely recommend white bread. Its much more moist and easier to roll up.

French Toast Roll-ups

8 slices white sandwich bread
Nutella or softened cream cheese
Diced strawberries
2 eggs
3 Tblsp milk
1/3 cup sugar
1 heaping tsp ground cinnamon
butter, for greasing the pan

Cut the crust from each slice of bread and flatten it out with a rolling pin.
Place about 1-2 tsp 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 Nutella with diced strawberries or you can do cream cheese with strawberries. In a shallow bowl, whisk the eggs and milk until well combined.
In a separate shallow bowl mix the sugar with the cinnamon.
Heat the skillet medium high and melt a Tblsp 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 if desired. EnJOY!
