They say that breakfast is the “most important meal of the day.” Many would agree that it’s also the most delicious.
Whether you like savory foods like bacon and eggs, or you prefer to satisfy your sweet tooth with yummy pancakes – they’re all acceptable at breakfast time. Or, why not fill your plate with a little bit of both?
If French toast is one of your weekend favorites, prepare for your mouth to water. Crouton Crackerjacks shared a French toast recipe that puts a “twist” on the classic breakfast food – and the results look amazing!

Here’s what you’re going to need:
- White sandwich bread (12 slices)
- 1/2 pint of fresh strawberries
- 4 oz cream cheese
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 2 eggs (large)
- 2 tablespoons of milk
- 3 teaspoons granulated sugar (divided)
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
Step One:
First, wash your strawberries, then core them. Slice and cut each strawberry into “smallish pieces.”
Step Two:
Place your cut strawberries into a bowl and cover them with a teaspoon of granulated sugar. Stir so they’ll be evenly coated.
Step Three:
Put the cream cheese into a different bowl. (To soften the cream cheese, Crouton Crackerjacks heats his in the microwave for 10 seconds.) Stir it up so there aren’t any lumps left.
Now, add the powdered sugar to the bowl, and stir until the two ingredients are combined.
Step Four:
Get out a rolling pin and flatten each piece of bread with it. Also, cut off the crusts of the bread, leaving the slices square-shaped.
Step Five:
It’s now time to put your roll-ups together! Take about one teaspoon of the cream cheese mixture and smear it on the edge of a bread square. Then, place approximately a tablespoon of strawberries on top. Crouton Crackerjacks advises, “Not too much.”
Step Six:
Carefully roll the bread squares up with the fillings inside. You want them to be tightly-rolled, but not so tight that your bread rips.
Step Seven:
Crack your eggs into a new bowl, whisk, and then add in the milk, sugar, and cinnamon. Whisk again until it’s evenly mixed.
Step Eight:
Let’s get cooking! In the video, the host’s griddle is on medium heat. He then adds in some oil, followed by a pat of butter.
Dip your French toast roll-up into the egg mixture, and place it into your pan with its seam-side down. This will help seal the seam. Repeat.
Step Nine:
After they’re golden brown, turn them a quarter way. Continue cooking until all sides of the roll-ups are golden brown.
Step Ten:
Your strawberry French toast roll-ups are almost ready to enjoy! After you place them on plates, top with powdered sugar and some additional strawberries. Don’t those look just incredible?
