French Toast Roll Ups with Strawberries and Cream Recipe

Introduction

French Toast Roll Ups, also known as French Toast Pinwheels, are a fun and delicious twist on classic French toast. Filled with creamy cheese and fresh strawberries, they make a perfect breakfast or snack that’s as delightful to look at as it is to eat.

This image shows a close-up of four rolled pancake slices arranged diagonally on a white plate. Each roll has three visible layers: a light brown pancake outside with a soft texture, a middle layer of creamy white spread, and a bright red sliced strawberry layer inside creating a swirl effect. Beside the rolled pancakes, there are two fresh strawberries, one whole and one halved, both dusted with powdered sugar. A golden fork lies next to the rolls on the left side of the plate, and the rolls are sitting on a pool of golden syrup. The whole scene is set on a white marbled surface.

Ingredients

  • 1 package Flatout Original Flatbread (7 total)
  • Butter to grease skillet
  • Toothpicks (optional)
  • 5 eggs
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 12 oz. cream cheese, softened
  • 1 to 1 1/2 lbs strawberries, thinly sliced
  • Powdered sugar
  • Syrup

Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a long shallow dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and cinnamon to make the French Toast batter. Set aside.
  2. Step 2: Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, then reduce to medium. Grease the skillet with butter.
  3. Step 3: Working with one flatbread at a time, submerge it in the batter and let excess drip off. Place it in the skillet and cook for 45–60 seconds on each side until golden. Remove to a plate and repeat with remaining flatbreads. There will be batter left over.
  4. Step 4: At this point, you can serve the French Toast flatbreads plain with syrup or fill them with your favorite toppings such as Nutella, peanut butter, coconut, bananas, or blueberries. Garnish with powdered sugar and syrup if desired.
  5. Step 5: For the strawberries and cream option, spread about 2 heaping tablespoons of softened cream cheese evenly over each flatbread. Layer with thinly sliced strawberries and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon powdered sugar. Roll each flatbread up tightly and sprinkle additional powdered sugar on top.
  6. Step 6: Serve whole as roll ups or slice into 1/2 inch slices for pinwheels. Secure pinwheels with toothpicks if serving on a platter. Best enjoyed with syrup.

Tips & Variations

  • Use other fresh fruits like blueberries or bananas as alternatives to strawberries for varied flavors.
  • Try spreading Nutella or peanut butter inside the roll ups for a different twist.
  • Make sure the cream cheese is softened for easier spreading and better texture.
  • If you prefer a sweeter roll up, add a drizzle of honey or maple syrup inside before rolling.

Storage

Store leftover French Toast Roll Ups in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in a skillet over low heat or in the microwave until warmed through. To keep them from becoming soggy, avoid storing with syrup; add syrup just before serving.

How to Serve

A white plate holds a group of small rolled crepes arranged closely together, each roll showing layers of light brown crepe, creamy white filling, and red strawberry slices rolled inside. The crepes have a slightly browned texture on the outside, giving them a golden tone. Fresh strawberries, some whole and some sliced, are scattered on top and around the crepes, adding bright red and green color. The plate is placed on a white marbled surface with a red and white striped cloth nearby, and a white cup and blue bowl appear blurred in the background. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I use other types of bread instead of Flatout flatbread?

Yes, other thin and flexible breads like tortillas or lavash can be used, but cooking time and texture may vary.

Can I prepare the roll ups ahead of time?

You can prepare the French toast and filling a few hours in advance and assemble right before serving to keep the roll ups fresh and prevent sogginess.

Ingredients

Scale

French Toast Batter

  • 5 eggs
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Main Ingredients

  • 1 package Flatout Original Flatbread (7 total)
  • Butter (for greasing skillet)
  • Toothpicks (optional, for securing pinwheels)

Strawberries and Cream Filling

  • 12 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 to 1 1/2 lbs strawberries, thinly sliced
  • Powdered sugar (for sprinkling)

For Serving

  • Powdered sugar (additional, for garnish)
  • Syrup (maple or your choice)

Instructions

  1. Make the French Toast Batter: In a long shallow dish, whisk together eggs, milk, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and cinnamon until well combined. Set aside this mixture.
  2. Prepare the skillet: Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to medium. Grease the skillet generously with butter to prevent sticking and to add flavor.
  3. Cook flatbreads: Working with one flatbread at a time, submerge it fully into the French Toast batter, allowing excess to drip off. Place it carefully onto the hot skillet and cook for 45 to 60 seconds on each side, until the flatbread is golden brown and cooked through. Transfer cooked flatbreads to a plate. Repeat until all flatbreads are cooked. Note that some batter will remain.
  4. Choose your serving style: At this stage, you may roll up the French Toast flatbreads and serve them plain with syrup or add your favorite fillings such as Nutella, peanut butter, coconut, bananas, or blueberries. Garnish with powdered sugar and syrup if desired. Alternatively, proceed to the strawberries and cream filling.
  5. Prepare strawberries and cream filling: Evenly spread about 2 heaping tablespoons of softened cream cheese over the top surface of each cooked French Toast flatbread. Layer thinly sliced strawberries evenly over the cream cheese. Lightly sprinkle the strawberries with 1 teaspoon of powdered sugar to enhance sweetness.
  6. Roll and garnish: Roll each flatbread tightly so the filling stays inside. Sprinkle additional powdered sugar on top of the rolled French Toast Roll Ups.
  7. Serve: Serve the roll ups whole for a classic French Toast Roll Up experience, or slice them into 1/2 inch slices to create French Toast Pinwheels. If serving pinwheels on a platter, secure each with a toothpick. These are best enjoyed with syrup drizzled on the side or over the top.

Notes

  • You can substitute strawberries with your favorite berries or sliced fruits to customize the filling.
  • For a richer taste, use full-fat cream cheese and real maple syrup.
  • Ensure the cream cheese is softened to spread easily and evenly.
  • Adjust cooking time slightly depending on your skillet and stove to avoid burning the flatbread.
  • To make this gluten-free, substitute Flatout Flatbread with a gluten-free flatbread variant.
