French Toast Roll-Ups with Peanut Chocolate Spread Recipe

Introduction

French Toast Roll-Ups are a delightful twist on classic French toast, combining creamy peanut chocolate spread with warm, spiced bread rolls. These bite-sized treats are perfect for breakfast or a sweet snack that everyone will love.

Ingredients

• 1 jar of Bonne Maman Peanut Chocolate Spread
• 4 eggs
• 1 cup whole milk
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• ½ tsp cinnamon
• ¼ tsp ground nutmeg
• ¼ tsp salt
• 1 loaf of soft, sliced bread (about 16 slices)
• ⅓ cup butter for cooking French toast
• Cinnamon sugar for rolling cooked French toast

Instructions

1. Step 1: In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt to create the batter.
2. Step 2: Lay the sliced bread on a flat surface and use a rolling pin to roll each slice thin and flat. Trim off the crusts to create uniform rectangles.
3. Step 3: Spread a layer of the peanut chocolate spread evenly over each flattened slice. Carefully roll each slice into a spiral shape with the spread inside.
4. Step 4: Preheat a pan over medium-low heat and melt about 2 tablespoons of butter. Quickly dip each roll into the egg batter, turning to coat all sides.
5. Step 5: Place the coated rolls in the pan and cook, turning frequently, until golden brown on all sides.
6. Step 6: Once cooked, roll each French toast roll-up in cinnamon sugar. Repeat with remaining rolls until all are cooked and coated.
7. Step 7: Serve warm and enjoy your delicious French Toast Roll-Ups!

Tips & Variations

• For a nut-free option, substitute the peanut chocolate spread with your favorite fruit jam or cream cheese.
• Use a softer bread like brioche or challah for extra richness and tenderness.
• Add a drizzle of maple syrup or a dusting of powdered sugar before serving for extra sweetness.
• Keep the pan on medium-low heat to ensure the rolls cook evenly without burning.

Storage

Store any leftover French Toast Roll-Ups in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in a microwave or warm oven to maintain their soft texture. For best results, enjoy fresh.

Can I prepare these ahead of time?
