Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 10 slices white sandwich bread
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, diced
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
Filling and Seasoning:
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 cup sugar
Cooking Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1/4 cup milk
Instructions
- Gently press each bread slice with a rolling pin to create a thin, pliable surface.
- Combine cream cheese, finely chopped strawberries, and ground cinnamon in a mixing bowl until well incorporated.
- Apply a generous layer of the cream cheese mixture across the entire surface of each flattened bread slice.
- Carefully roll each slice into a compact cylindrical shape, ensuring the filling is securely enclosed.
- Secure each roll-up with a toothpick to prevent unraveling during cooking.
- Whisk eggs, milk, and sugar in a shallow dish until the mixture is smooth and fully blended.
- Heat butter in a skillet over medium-high heat (around 350°F) until it begins to bubble and foam.
- Delicately coat each roll-up in the egg mixture, ensuring complete coverage.
- Place the roll-ups in the hot skillet, rotating to achieve an even golden-brown exterior on all sides.
- Cook for approximately 2-3 minutes per side until the exterior is crispy and golden.
- Transfer cooked roll-ups to a serving plate and remove toothpicks before presenting.
- Optional: Dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with maple syrup for additional sweetness.
Notes
- Softening bread helps create smooth, uniform roll-ups without tearing or breaking during rolling process.
- Choose slightly stale bread for easier manipulation and better structural integrity when flattening and rolling.
- Ensure cream cheese mixture is evenly distributed for consistent flavor in every bite of the roll-up.
- Remove toothpicks carefully before serving to prevent accidental biting or potential choking hazard.
