How to make french toast roll ups
Here are step by step instructions on how to make french toast roll ups.
- You take a loaf of bread slices and cut off the crust. Then you roll them flat with a rolling pin.
- You make the filling and then spread the filling on each slice of bread. Then you add strawberries along the bottom of each slice.
- Next you roll the bread tightly, starting with the strawberry end. The cream cheese filling will seal the edges.
- You brush them with melted butter, then dip them in cinnamon and sugar.
- Then you bake them. They are delicious when warm and at room temperature.

You can make these roll-ups hours ahead. To reheat them, place them on a sheet pan and bake them in a 350 degrees oven for about 5-8 minutes or until warm.
