Strawberry French Toast Roll-Ups

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

I love how quick and simple these roll-ups are to prepare. The fresh strawberries add a burst of flavor, and the golden, slightly crisp bread gives them a comforting French toast feel. They’re just right for breakfast, brunch, or even a sweet snack. Plus, I can prepare them in minutes and enjoy them right away—no waiting around.

Ingredients

(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

4 slices of bread
1 cup of strawberries, sliced
2 eggs
1/4 cup of milk
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
1 tablespoon of melted butter
1 tablespoon of sugar
Powdered sugar for dusting

Directions

I start by flattening each slice of bread with a rolling pin so they’re easy to roll.
I place a few strawberry slices along one end of each piece of bread, then roll them up tightly.
In a bowl, I whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and sugar until smooth.
I heat my skillet over medium heat, then add the melted butter and swirl it around to coat.
I dip each roll-up into the egg mixture, making sure it’s fully coated, then place it right into the skillet.
I cook them until they’re golden brown on all sides, turning gently so they color evenly.
Once done, I dust them with powdered sugar and serve them warm.

Servings and timing

This recipe makes about 4 servings. It takes around 10 minutes to prepare and about 6–8 minutes to cook, so I can have them ready in under 20 minutes.

Variations

I sometimes swap strawberries for blueberries, raspberries, or even sliced bananas.
For a dessert twist, I spread a thin layer of Nutella or cream cheese on the bread before adding the fruit.
If I want a richer flavor, I use brioche or challah bread instead of regular sandwich bread.

storage/reheating

I find these roll-ups taste best fresh, but if I have leftovers, I store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, I pop them in a skillet over low heat or warm them in the oven for a few minutes to bring back their crisp edges.

FAQs

Can I make these roll-ups ahead of time?

I can assemble them the night before, keep them in the fridge, and cook them in the morning.

Can I freeze strawberry French toast roll-ups?

Yes, I can freeze them after cooking. I let them cool completely, then store them in a freezer-safe bag for up to a month.

Can I make them without sugar?

I sometimes skip the sugar in the egg mixture and just dust them with powdered sugar afterward for a lighter sweetness.

What type of bread works best?

I prefer soft sandwich bread or brioche because they’re easy to roll and soak up the egg mixture nicely.

How do I prevent the roll-ups from unrolling while cooking?

I make sure to roll them tightly, and once they hit the pan, I start cooking with the seam side down so they seal as they brown.

Conclusion

These strawberry French toast roll-ups are one of my favorite quick treats to make. They’re simple, versatile, and so satisfying, whether I’m enjoying them for breakfast or serving them at brunch. I love how they combine the comfort of French toast with the freshness of strawberries, all in a fun, easy-to-eat roll.
