Description

Strawberry Nutella French Toast Roll Ups are a delightful twist on classic French toast. Slices of white bread are flattened, spread with creamy Nutella and fresh diced strawberries, then rolled up and cooked to golden perfection. Coated in a sweet sugar crust, these roll ups make for a fun, indulgent breakfast or snack that’s easy to prepare and sure to impress.

Ingredients

Scale

Bread and Filling

  • 6 slices fresh white sandwich bread, crusts removed
  • 1/2 punnet strawberries, diced small
  • 4 1/2 tbsp Nutella

Coating and Cooking

  • 1/4 cup caster sugar (superfine sugar)
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tbsp milk (full cream or low fat)
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a bowl with a flat base large enough to dip the roll ups, whisk together the egg, milk, and a pinch of salt until fully combined and slightly frothy.
  2. Set the Sugar Coating: Spread the caster sugar evenly in a small dish to use later for coating the roll ups.
  3. Flatten the Bread Slices: Use a rolling pin to roll each slice of bread flat. This softens them and makes rolling easier while helping the roll ups stay intact.
  4. Spread Nutella: Evenly spread about 3/4 tablespoon of Nutella over each flattened bread slice, covering the surface up to the edges for maximum flavor and sealing.
  5. Add Strawberries: Sprinkle the finely diced strawberries along the bottom edge of each bread slice before rolling to distribute the fruit evenly inside.
  6. Roll Up the Bread: Carefully roll each slice up tightly from the bottom edge toward the top. The Nutella acts as a glue to keep the rolls sealed.
  7. Melt Butter: Heat the butter in a non-stick pan over medium-high heat until fully melted and slightly bubbly, but not browned.
  8. Dip and Cook the Roll Ups: Roll each bread roll up in the egg mixture, ensuring it’s completely coated, and shake off any excess. Place the coated roll ups seam side down in the pan. Cook for about 4 minutes total, turning every minute to brown all sides evenly and achieve a golden crust.
  9. Coat in Sugar: Remove the cooked roll ups from the pan and immediately roll them in the caster sugar to coat their exterior while still warm, then transfer to a serving plate.
  10. Serve Warm: Serve the Strawberry Nutella French Toast Roll Ups immediately to enjoy their gooey, sweet, and crispy texture at its best.

Notes

  • Using a rolling pin to flatten the bread makes the roll ups easier to roll and helps them stay sealed during cooking.
  • Make sure not to overload with Nutella and strawberries to prevent the rolls from bursting open.
  • Cook over medium-high heat but monitor closely to avoid burning the sugar coating.
  • Serve immediately as the roll ups taste best warm and fresh.
  • Substitute white bread with whole wheat or gluten-free bread if desired, although texture will vary.
