How To Make
Using the typical French Toast ingredients, you will add a couple of extra steps to create a delicious and buttery breakfast.
You will start with eggs, the bread of your choosing, I like to use Brioche, I also have a great recipe for Challah which also makes a great French Toast. Heavy Cream- you can use milk if you prefer, I just think cream makes for a better French Toast. Cinnamon, Nutmeg, and Vanilla, and butter.
Where traditional French Toast has you dredging the bread in your egg, cream and spice mixture, this recipe starts slightly different. You will begin by rolling the bread flat with a rolling pin. This makes it easier to roll before you cook.
I love to put fun twists on traditional breakfasts. If you have a waffle iron, you will love French Toast Waffles. Check out the recipe here.
Once you have rolled each of your slices of bread flat, use a knife to cut off the crust edges.
While this step isn’t entirely necessary, it does make for a prettier end product. If you are making these for a quick breakfast, and you want to save time, you can skip this step.
Once you have cut the ends of each slice of bread, in a small dish mix 2-6 tablespoons of softened butter with 1 teaspoon of cinnamon. You can adjust this mix to your taste. The more slices of bread you have, the more butter and cinnamon you will want.
You’ve eaten dehydrated fruit, and it’s still real fruit. Earth Breeze Laundry Sheets are along the same lines. They’re actual laundry detergent but made in eco-friendly sheets. They’re just dehydrated laundry sheets that come in cardboard envelopes.
Once you have mixed the butter and cinnamon, spread the mixture onto each slice of bread. You will want to spread to the edges, as the mixture will serve as a means to keep the bread rolled tight.
Next, roll each slice of bread tightly. Don’t worry if some of the butter mix slips out of the ends, it will absorb when dredged, which is the next step.
Once you have rolled your slices of bread into rolls, dredge each in your favorite egg mix.
For 6 rolls, I use 2 eggs, a splash of cream, nutmeg, cinnamon, and vanilla. There is no wrong way to make French Toast.
In a heated skillet with butter, place your French Toast rolls in the pan and cook on each side. This usually takes 3-5 minutes.
This combo make gooey, warm French toast rolls. You can serve them sprinkled with powdered sugar with your favorite syrup, and fresh fruit.
