Strawberry Cheesecake French Toast Roll Ups

This Strawberry Cheesecake French Toast Roll-Ups recipe is SO easy – resulting in a decadent breakfast treat, and very clean plates. Whip these up and watch them disappear!

Brace yourselves, folks. You’re going to want to make these immediately* 

These Strawberry Cheesecake French Toast Roll Ups happened when I was racing around trying to figure out what to feed the family for breakfast (and ensure they actually eat it instead of demanding bowls of cereal). Cereal is great – but, on a weekend, I like to make a bit more effort.

French toast is awesome, but STUFFED French toast rolls has to be the one-up, right? We’re all about the one-up in my house. You’re a super hero? Cool. I’m a super-super hero. Can you tell I live with little boys?

I love a cooked breakfast, and true to form – the boys devour these. They’re huge fans of my Baked Cinnamon Cream Cheese Roll-Ups, and this is a similar concept.

The main notable difference that for this recipe we don’t dip in butter and cinnamon sugar mixture, instead making a French toast dip of eggs, vanilla, half and half and a little cinnamon, and dipping the rolls in that instead.

Why you’ll love this

• Simple. No complicated steps or hard-to-find ingredients. Just easy, everyday stuff that comes together fast.
• Homemade. No freezer aisle shortcuts here – just fresh, made-from-scratch goodness.
• Delicious. Creamy cheesecake, sweet strawberries, and warm French toast all rolled into one. It’s hard to stop at one.
• Fun to make. These feel a little extra, but are actually really easy. Great for weekend breakfast or brunch.
• Perfect for sharing. Make a batch and watch them disappear. Always a hit at the table.

• Bread. Any soft, easily pliable bread is good. Whole wheat bread is what is used here, but white bread is much easier to roll! Use whatever you have.
• Cream cheese. Soften it for easy spreading.
• Strawberry jam. I used my favorite Small Batch Strawberry Jam for these, but any good quality jam is fine, I promise.
• Eggs. Large eggs.
• Vanilla. Measure that with your heart.
• Half & half. You can absolutely use milk if that’s what you have on hand.
• Cinnamon. See above about vanilla.
• Butter. I always use salted butter, but you don’t have to!

Small Batch Strawberry Jam

This delicious small batch jam is perfect for when you don’t need 50 jars – but you DO need a little jam! Homemade is always better, and this recipe is no exception!

How to make this recipe

Get prepped. Slice the crusts off the bread, and using a rolling pin, flatten the bread slices out. We want it thin so we can easily roll it. To make the cream cheese is soft and spreadable, microwave for 15-20 seconds).

Make the rolls. Spread each piece of bread thickly with cream cheese. Top without about 1 tsp strawberry jam. Spread until the surface is covered. Roll up each slice of bread and set aside. Repeat with remaining bread.

In a shallow dish or bowl, combine the eggs, vanilla, half & half and cinnamon. Melt butter in large skillet, over medium heat. Dip the rolls in the egg mixture, then cook each roll in the skillet (beginning with seam side down), adding more butter if needed, turning to brown evenly. This should take only a few minutes.

To Serve. Sprinkle with powdered sugar, if desired. Serve warm. Devour.

Variations/Substitutions

Switch out the strawberry jam for blueberry, raspberry or peach

Fresh grated apples would be great with this too, just add a little cinnamon to them

Nutella. Enough said.

How to serve:

Decorate with fresh strawberries and dusting of powdered sugar.

Can I make these ahead?

Yes, but be sure to store them in the fridge. A quick heat in the oven (don’t overdo it) and a fresh sprinkle of powdered sugar will make these yummy!

Can I freeze French Toast Roll Ups?

You can. I have made them ahead and cooked them, and just baked them in the oven to thaw and reheat!
