It's been waaaaaay too long since I've posted a recipe on this blog. Ah... I feel like my laziness is overcoming my will power to blog and also to try making more recipes I've pinned onto my Pinterest. ;P
Anyway, just recently I made this French Toast Roll Ups with cream cheese and strawberry filling upon finding a video of it on Twitter. I thought, WHY NOT? I love french toasts for breakfast and evening snack. It tastes good, ingredients are easy to find, and it's also very simple to make. There are various version of french toasts though! This strawberry and cream cheese combination is one of the option if you enjoy sweet thing. I remember eating a lot french toasts (or roti telur as what the locals called) with sardine or sausage filling when I was still in primary school. Well, we just like everything savoury here for breakfast. Lepas tu gaduh dengan Shikin sebab dia kata nak buat roti telur kena letak susu and I was like "mana ada mak aku buat tak letak pun, guna margarine je". Power tak aku throwback 16 tahun lepas tetiba?
I used our local Gardenia sandwich white bread without the crust removed because I didn't want it to be wasted. The cream cheese was originally to be made into a cake, but I gotten lazy lol. Strawberries were from Tesco, RM6+ for a box. This recipe (as far as two egg mixture goes) is about enough for six slices of bread. Multiply as needed for larger batches.
WHAT YOU NEED:
- 6 slices of bread
- cream cheese (room temperature)
- strawberries (diced)
- 2 eggs (beaten)
- butter
- cinnamon and sugar for topping
HOW TO MAKE IT:
1. Take each piece of bread and roll flat with a rolling pin.
2. Spread some cream cheese over it and add diced strawberries to one side of the bread.
3. Roll the bread up tightly.
4. That is how it should looked like.
5. Repeat process with the remaining pieces of bread.
6. In a bowl, whisk 2 eggs and dip each bread roll into it until well coated.
7. Eh... number 7 should go before number 6 but whatever. You got it. Heat a pan over medium-heat, and melt a tablespoon of butter.
8. Lightly fry until golden-brown all over.
Not everyone loves cinnamon so this part is optional, remove the bread from the pan and place it in a cinnamon+sugar mixture. Roll it until completely covered. Best serve immediately.
Bon appetit!
