Strawberry Nutella French Toast Roll ups

It’s Official….

I’m addicted to strawberries and Nutella!

OH.MY.GOODNESS!!!              Nutella…where have you been all my life?  

Ok, I keep a jar in the pantry pretty much all the time so it’s been RIGHT there.  I have a daughter who’s also addicted.  For whatever reason (I can’t think of what in the world it would have been) I just never ate it.  What’s not to love?  It’s CHOCOLATE and when you add a few strawberries, roll the whole thing up and make French toast out of it…. Well, you get the picture.  

If you’ve been on Pinterest lately you’ve probably seen these Strawberry Nutella French Toast Roll Ups (or a variation of them).  I have to be honest, I don’t get a lot of Pinterest “successes” so I’m a little hesitant when it comes to new recipes from there.  But, this one looked so good I just couldn’t resist.  

I’m SO glad I did!

Also, I chose this recipe to be my first “live” Facebook video.  Scroll down and you can watch it.

Here’s the Recipe:

• 6 Slices Pepperidge Farms Very Thin White Bread (See note at bottom for other options)
• 2-3 Strawberries – diced small
• Nutella
• 1 egg
• 2 Tablespoons half and half
• Pinch of Salt
• Dash of Vanilla
• 1 Tablespoon Butter
• Optional: Powdered Sugar

*This recipe only makes 6 roll ups.  I ended up making about 3-4 recipes*

Spread each slice of bread with Nutella

Place strawberries on one end of bread

Roll gently (but tightly)  The Nutella will help it stay together

Set aside

In a small bowl with flat bottom mix egg, cream, salt and vanilla

Melt butter in a medium skillet over medium-high heat

Dip each roll into egg mixture and turn to coat (don’t let them sit in it)

Place in hot skillet and repeat with other rolls until skillet is full

Turn to cook rolls on all sides

When done, remove from skillet and sprinkle with powdered sugar just before serving

*The inside will be extremely hot*

Most recipes call for regular bread, crusts cut off and rolled thin.  I substituted Pepperidge Farms Very Thin Bread, left the crust on and there was no need to roll.  

Comments from my family:

• These look like something we’d have at the fair.  (We go to the fair JUST for the food so that means they’re good)
• They taste like something we’d have at the fair!
• These are REALLY good.  
• I could eat a lot of them.
• Wow, these don’t even need syrup. (Coming from my son who would eat Maple syrup on just about anything)
• Maybe you can find some time today to blog these.  (When someone says “you should blog this”, I know it’s really good)
