Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 slices white sandwich bread or brioche
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, diced
  • 3 large eggs (about 150g), beaten
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) whole or 2% milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, for frying
  • Powdered sugar, for dusting (optional)
  • Maple syrup or honey, for serving

Instructions

  1. Prepare the filling by combining softened cream cheese with diced strawberries in a small bowl. Mix gently to blend but keep some strawberry chunks for texture. Set aside.
  2. Trim the crusts off the bread slices. Using a rolling pin, gently flatten each slice to about 1/4-inch thickness to make rolling easier and prevent cracking.
  3. Spread about 2 tablespoons of the cream cheese-strawberry mixture evenly over each flattened bread slice. Starting from one edge, carefully roll the bread tightly into a cylinder, pinching the edges to seal as best as you can.
  4. In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon until smooth.
  5. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and melt the butter until foaming but not browned.
  6. Dip each roll-up into the egg batter, coating all sides. Place the roll-ups seam side down in the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, turning carefully until golden brown and crispy all over.
  7. Transfer cooked roll-ups to a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess butter. Dust lightly with powdered sugar and serve warm with maple syrup or honey drizzled on top.

Notes

Use soft sandwich bread or brioche to prevent cracking. Flatten bread gently with a rolling pin. Seal edges well to avoid filling leaks. Cook on medium heat to achieve crispy exterior without burning. Butter provides best flavor; add a splash of oil if butter browns too quickly. For a dairy-free or vegan version, substitute cream cheese and milk with plant-based alternatives and use a flax egg for dipping. Roll-ups can be baked at 375°F for 15 minutes as an alternative to frying. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days or freeze for up to a month.
