About the Recipe

Who doesn't like French toast for breakfast? If my kids have their way, they can eat them every single day. I love making my eggless French toast for breakfast at least once a month.

So, this French toast roll ups idea came about while browsing through Pinterest. It reminds me of a stuffed pancake recipe served at a popular pancake chain in the US.

Stuffing the bread with Nutella, strawberry jam and cream cheese before dipping in the custard makes this recipe taste amazing. The best part is that the fillings can be whatever you like. If Nutella is not your thing, then simply use jam or just chopped berries.

This is a no egg French toast roll up recipe. Instead of eggs, I use custard powder and it works like a magic. Check the ingredient section for substitutions that you can use instead.

All in all this is a very easy breakfast. These Nutella roll ups look very fancy and are great to serve guests at a breakfast or brunch party. You can also roll the cooked roll ups in cinnamon sugar for extra deliciousness.

Ingredients

For the details of the exact quantities of each ingredient and the list of ingredients needed, check the printable recipe card below.

Here are the ingredients you need to make these French toast roll ups:

• Bread - you can use either white or whole-wheat bread. I prefer white whole wheat bread that is not too wheaty.
• Butter - I prefer unsalted butter but feel free to use salted if you like
• To make eggless custard, you will need:
  • Milk - preferably 2% or whole milk. Non dairy milk like oat and almond will also be great.
  • Custard powder - any brand will work. I recommend either Bird's or Brown & Polson. If you don't have custard powder, then use cornstarch along with a splash of extra vanilla.
  • Granulated Sugar
  • Vanilla
• You can totally make this recipe with eggs. Simply whisk in 2 eggs instead of the custard powder.

• To make the stuffing, you will need:
  • Cream cheese - full or low fat
  • Nutella or other chocolate spread
  • Jam - either strawberry or any of your favorite fruit flavor

Instructions

If you are wondering, how to make French toast rolls without eggs, then here's how to make then:

In a shallow plate or a pie pan, combine custard powder, milk, sugar and vanilla extract. Whisk until well combined. Set aside.

Roll the bread slices to flatten them a little using a rolling pin. Removing the edges is optional, I left them on mine.

Spread the filling (s) of choice on the bottom quarter of the bread and roll it into a tight roll.

Heat 1 tablespoon butter in a skillet on medium heat. Dip the bread roll in milk mixture, roll it around so that it absorbs milk evenly, then place seam side down in the preheated skillet. Cook until all sides are evenly browned, about 2~3 minutes on medium flame.

Enjoy right away with a drizzle of maple syrup.

Expert Tips
