Ingredients
Scale
Bread and Filling
- 6 slices fresh white sandwich bread, crusts removed
- 1/2 punnet strawberries, diced small
- 4 1/2 tbsp Nutella
Batter and Coating
- 1/4 cup caster sugar (superfine sugar)
- 1 tbsp butter
- 1 large egg
- 2 tbsp milk (full cream or low fat)
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Prepare Egg Mixture: In a bowl with a flat base large enough to lie the roll ups in, whisk together the egg, milk, and a pinch of salt until fully combined.
- Prepare Sugar Coating: Spread the caster sugar out evenly in a small dish to use later for coating the cooked roll ups.
- Flatten Bread: Use a rolling pin to roll each bread slice flat. This makes the bread easier to roll up tightly and helps them stay sealed while cooking.
- Spread Nutella: Evenly spread approximately 3/4 tablespoon of Nutella on each flattened slice of bread.
- Add Strawberries: Sprinkle diced strawberries along the bottom edge of each Nutella-spread bread slice.
- Roll Bread: Carefully roll up each slice of bread from the strawberry side, sealing the edges with the Nutella to hold the roll closed.
- Melt Butter: Heat butter in a pan over medium-high heat until melted and hot but not smoking.
- Dip Roll Ups: Roll each bread roll up in the egg mixture, allowing excess to drip off, then place seam side down in the hot pan. Repeat with remaining roll ups.
- Cook Roll Ups: Cook the roll ups for about 4 minutes total, turning every 1 minute or so to ensure all sides become golden brown and crisp.
- Coat in Sugar: Remove cooked roll ups from the pan and immediately place them in the caster sugar, rolling to coat all sides evenly. Repeat with remaining roll ups.
- Serve: Serve the strawberry Nutella French toast roll ups immediately while warm for the best taste and texture.
Notes
- Using white sandwich bread works best as it’s soft and easy to roll; removing crusts ensures a smooth rolling texture.
- Rolling the bread flat helps prevent cracks and keeps the filling securely inside.
- Full cream milk gives a richer flavor, but low fat milk can be used for a lighter option.
- Serve with a dusting of powdered sugar or a drizzle of maple syrup for extra sweetness if desired.
- For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free sandwich bread.
