_Sips coffee while typing_
Oh. My. Goodness. Ladies and gents, get ready to have your breakfast game completely transformed! I’m about to share my absolute favorite morning indulgence that’ll make your regular pancakes and waffles look like amateur hour. Trust me, once you try these Deep-Fried French Toast Roll-Ups, there’s no going back to basic breakfast!
Let me tell you, I discovered this recipe during one of my “why not?” moments in the kitchen, and honey, it was a life-changing experience. These golden-brown beauties are crispy on the outside, oozing with cream cheese and berries on the inside, and dusted with just enough cinnamon sugar to make your taste buds dance!
What you’ll need (because I know you’re already drooling):
– 12 slices of white bread
– 8 oz cream cheese, softened
– 2 cups mixed berries (I use strawberries and blueberries)
– 3 large eggs
– 1/2 cup milk
– 1 tsp vanilla extract
– Vegetable oil for frying
– Cinnamon sugar for coating
Now, let’s get cooking!
1. First things first, grab your rolling pin and flatten those bread slices like they owe you money! Remove the crusts (save them for breadcrumbs, we’re not wasteful here!).
1. Spread a generous layer of cream cheese on each slice (and maybe sneak a taste – I won’t judge 😉).
1. Add a line of berries near one edge of the bread. Roll these babies up tightly, making sure to seal the edges well. We don’t want any filling escaping during their hot oil bath!
(Quick pause: If you’re loving this recipe so far, make sure to follow me on Newsbreak for daily doses of deliciousness! I’ve got so many more mouthwatering recipes up my sleeve!)
1. In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, and vanilla. This is your dipping mixture, folks!
1. Heat oil in a deep pan to 350°F. If you don’t have a thermometer, drop a small piece of bread in – if it sizzles and turns golden in about 60 seconds, you’re good to go!
1. Dip each roll-up in the egg mixture, then carefully place in the hot oil. Fry until golden brown on all sides (about 2-3 minutes). Work in batches – nobody likes a crowded pan!
1. Once they’re done, roll these gorgeous creatures in cinnamon sugar while they’re still hot.
Serve these bad boys warm with maple syrup, whipped cream, or if you’re feeling extra naughty like me, both! The contrast between the crispy exterior and the creamy, fruity filling is absolutely divine.
Pro tip: If you’ve got leftovers (which, let’s be real, is highly unlikely), you can reheat them in the air fryer for 2-3 minutes to bring back that heavenly crunch!
Y’all, I can’t even tell you how many times I’ve made these for brunch gatherings, and every single time, people beg for the recipe. It’s become my signature dish, and now it can be yours too!
