_Sips coffee while typing_
Oh my goodness, y’all! Let me tell you about this breakfast recipe that has my family literally fighting over the last bite every single weekend. As a busy mom who loves to cook but doesn’t want to spend hours in the kitchen (because, hello, I need my beauty sleep!), I’ve perfected these Southern-style Stuffed French Toast Rolls that’ll make you feel like you’re dining at a fancy brunch spot.
Picture this: warm, cinnamon-kissed bread rolls filled with a heavenly cream cheese and berry mixture, all drizzled with pure maple syrup. I’m not even kidding when I say my neighbors can smell these bad boys cooking and “coincidentally” drop by for a morning chat! 😉
Here’s what you’ll need (trust me, it’s worth the grocery trip):
– 8 slices of soft white bread
– 4 oz cream cheese, softened
– 1/2 cup mixed berries
– 3 large eggs
– 1/2 cup milk
– 1 tsp vanilla extract
– 1 tsp cinnamon
– 2 tbsp butter
– Maple syrup for serving
Now, let me walk you through this magic (it’s easier than getting your kids to make their beds!):
1. First, grab your rolling pin and flatten each bread slice. Remove the crusts if you’re feeling fancy.
1. Mix the softened cream cheese with mashed berries (I sometimes add a tiny splash of vanilla here because I’m extra like that).
1. Spread the mixture on each flattened bread slice and roll them up tightly. Think sushi, but breakfast style!

1. In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, vanilla, and cinnamon until well combined.
1. Dip each roll in the egg mixture, making sure it’s well-coated (but don’t let it get soggy – nobody likes soggy bread, am I right?).
1. Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat and cook each roll until golden brown on all sides, about 2-3 minutes per side.
Serve these beauties warm with maple syrup, and if you’re feeling extra indulgent (which I always am), add a dusting of powdered sugar and extra berries on top.
Pro tip: Want to prep ahead? You can make the rolls the night before and keep them covered in the fridge. Just dip and cook in the morning! Perfect for those days when you’re running on dry shampoo and a prayer.
Y’all, I can’t tell you how many times this recipe has saved my morning gatherings! Even my mother-in-law asked for the recipe, and let me tell you, that woman is pickier than a toddler at dinnertime!

Now, if you’ll excuse me, I need to go make another batch because my husband “accidentally” ate all the ones I made for the photos! 🙄💁♀️
