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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
