Ingredients
– 8 slices of bread (white, whole wheat, or any preferred type)
– 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
– ¼ cup granulated sugar
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
– 1 cup fresh fruit (like strawberries, bananas, or blueberries)

– ¼ cup unsalted butter (for frying)
– Powdered sugar (for garnish)

Instructions
Follow these simple steps to create your own batch of delicious French Toast Roll-Ups:
1. Prep the Bread: Trim the crusts off the bread slices and flatten them gently with a rolling pin.
2. Make the Filling: In a bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon until smooth.
3. Add Fruit: Carefully mix in your chosen fresh fruit to the cream cheese mixture.
4. Spread the Filling: Spread a thin layer of the filling onto each slice of flattened bread, leaving some space at the edges.
5. Roll Them Up: Starting from one end, roll the bread slice tightly around the filling. Secure the edge with a little cream cheese mixture if needed.
6. Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until fully combined.
7. Heat the Pan: In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
8. Dip and Cook: Dip each roll-up in the egg mixture, ensuring it’s coated well. Place it in the hot skillet, seam side down. Cook until golden brown on all sides (approximately 2-3 minutes per side).
9. Keep Warm: Once cooked, place the roll-ups on a plate and keep them warm while you cook the remaining batch.
10. Serve with Style: Dust generously with powdered sugar and serve warm with maple syrup drizzled on top.
