I wanted something simple this week, I didn't feel like doing a lot of mixing and measuring, so I decided to go with French Toast Roll Ups because there's no measuring (for me) involved and it's a pretty simple way to start your day.

 

Recipe:

 

Ingredients:

- 8 slices of sandwich bread

- peanut butter, jelly, cream cheese, dulce de leche, cajeta or nutella (or whatever)

- 2 eggs

- 3 tablespoons milk

- 1/3 cup of granulated sugar

- 1 heaping of teaspoon ground cinnamon

- butter, for greasing the pan

- maple syrup, for serving

(That's what the recipe calls for, I used eggs, milk, bread and icing sugar, oh and jam. Almost forgot.)

 

Direction:

01. Trim the crust from the bread and flatten it out with a rolling pin.

02. Place about a teaspoon or 2 of your chosen filling an inch from one end of the bread spread out in a strip. Roll the bread up and repeat until they're all filled.

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

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

05. In a skillet set over medium heat melt a tablespoon of butter.

06. Add the rolls to the egg turning to coat on all sides then place them in the pan seam side down. Cook in batches until golden brown, turning them to cook and brown on all sides. Add butter to the pan as needed.

07. Add the hot rolls from the pan to the cinnamon sugar and roll until completely covered in sugar.

08. Serve with maple syrup for dunking.

 

Enjoy!

 

Hope everyone has had a good day.
