Y’all, let me tell you about this absolutely divine breakfast creation that’s been making everyone in my household fight over the last piece! I’m talking about my Deep-Fried French Toast Roll-Ups, and honey, they are everything you never knew you needed in your life.
Picture this: warm, cinnamon-sugary goodness wrapped around a cream cheese and berry filling, all deep-fried to golden perfection. I know what you’re thinking – “Girl, that sounds amazing but complicated!” Trust me, queens and kings, it’s easier than getting your kids to bed on Christmas Eve! 😉
What You’ll Need:
• 12 slices white bread, crusts removed
• 8 oz cream cheese, softened
• 1/4 cup mixed berries (I use strawberries and blueberries)
• 2 large eggs
• 1/4 cup milk
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• Vegetable oil for frying
• 1/2 cup sugar mixed with 1 tbsp cinnamon

Now, let’s get cooking:
1. Flatten each bread slice with a rolling pin (or a wine bottle – no judgment here! 😜)
2. Mix softened cream cheese until smooth
3. Spread cream cheese mixture on each slice, add berries near one end
4. Roll those babies up tightly, sealing edges with a bit of water
Here’s where the magic happens:
1. Whisk eggs, milk, and vanilla in a shallow dish
2. Heat oil to 350°F (or until a drop of water makes it sizzle like hot gossip)
3. Dip each roll in egg mixture
4. Fry until golden brown (about 2-3 minutes, rotating occasionally)
5. Roll in cinnamon-sugar while still hot
Pro tip from your girl: Don’t skip the paper towel draining step unless you want your breakfast looking like an oil slick!
These beauties are perfect for weekend brunches, special occasions, or honestly, just because you deserve something fabulous! I serve mine with maple syrup, but between us, they’re pretty perfect on their own.
