These French Toast Roll Ups are a new twist on a classic recipe. Easy to make (and can be frozen), you can customize the filling as much as you like!
My children love french toast but until recently, I had never tried french toast rollups, mainly because I thought that they would be too much of a pain to make and then my children wouldn't like them. I am happy to say that I was wrong. Not only were these french toast roll ups easy to make, but my children loved them! In the future, I plan to try them with homemade apple pie filling or even mini chocolate chips or Nutella as a special treat!
One of the keys to making these turn out well is the bread. You want to find a soft bread and use it almost immediately. If you try to use more "healthy breads" - such as multigrain breads that are fabulous for sandwiches, but a little on the dry side, you might find your french toast roll ups tearing and the filling leaking out of them.
I am not saying that you have to use bread that is so full of chemicals that you can roll it up and bounce it off of a wall....but this is not the time to be a stickler about only using "healthy bread". It needs to be soft and pliable for these to turn out well!

You can! Just freeze them after you have cooked them...not before!

How much butter for the pan? (It isn't listed in your ingredients but you mention it in the directions.) Also, you didn't include the step to dip the rolled up bread in the egg mixture in your direction steps! Thank you for the recipe though. Very yummy!

Enough to coat the bottom of the pan...it's not really exact 😉
