Week 1 French Toast Roll-Ups

French Toast Roll-Ups

Ingredients

·       8 slices soft white sandwich bread

·       3 tablespoons Nutella 

·       2 large eggs

·       3 tablespoons milk

·       1/3 cup granulated sugar

·       1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

·       2 tablespoons unsalted butter, for greasing the pan or spray

·       maple syrup, for serving (optional)

Directions

1.  Trim the crust from the bread and flatten each slice out with a rolling pin.

2.  Place a heaping teaspoon of your filling an inch from one end of the bread, and spread it out in a strip. Roll the bread up and repeat with the remaining slices.

3.  In a shallow bowl thoroughly whisk the eggs and milk together. In another shallow bowl, mix the sugar and cinnamon together.

4.  On a griddle (or large sauté pan), melt 1 tablespoon butter over medium heat. Coat the rolls with the egg mixture and place seam side down on the griddle. Cook for about 1-2 minutes per side, until golden brown. Add more butter to the griddle as needed for the second batch.

5.  Place the hot rolls into the cinnamon-sugar and roll until completely covered, gently shaking off any excess.

6.  Serve with maple syrup, if desired.
