Ingredients
- 8 slices of bread
- 1/2 cup Nutella
- 1 cup sliced strawberries
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon sugar
- Butter for frying
Instructions
- Trim the crusts off each slice of bread to create a clean rectangular shape.
- Use a rolling pin to gently flatten each bread slice until thin and uniform.
- Spread a generous layer of Nutella evenly across each flattened bread slice, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Arrange sliced strawberries in a neat line along one edge of each Nutella-covered bread slice.
- Carefully roll the bread tightly from the strawberry-lined edge, creating a compact roll-up. Press gently to seal the edges.
- In a shallow bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, and half of the cinnamon sugar until well combined.
- Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a pat of butter to coat the surface.
- Dip each roll-up into the egg mixture, coating all sides evenly but not soaking.
- Place the roll-ups seam-side down in the heated, buttered skillet and cook until golden brown, approximately 2-3 minutes per side.
- Remove from heat and immediately sprinkle with remaining cinnamon sugar.
- Let cool for 2-3 minutes, then slice diagonally and serve warm.
- Optional: Serve with additional sliced strawberries, powdered sugar, or a drizzle of chocolate sauce.
Tips
- Choose soft, fresh bread that's easy to roll - slightly stale bread works best for flattening and rolling
- Use a rolling pin with gentle, even pressure to flatten bread without tearing
- Don't overfill roll-ups to prevent ingredients from spilling during cooking
- Keep butter temperature medium to prevent burning and ensure even golden-brown coloring
- Work quickly when dipping roll-ups in egg mixture to prevent bread from becoming too soggy
- Use a non-stick skillet for easier flipping and more consistent cooking
- Let roll-ups rest for a few minutes after cooking to allow filling to set and prevent burning your mouth
- Experiment with different fruit fillings or add a sprinkle of chopped nuts for extra texture
