Instructions
1
Begin by flattening each slice of white bread using a rolling pin or the palm of your hand, making them more pliable for rolling.
2
Spread 1 teaspoon of Nutella on the bottom third of each flattened bread slice, making sure to leave a 1/4 inch border from the bottom edge.
3
Place a generous amount of chopped strawberries over the Nutella layer.
4
Starting from the bottom edge, carefully roll the bread tightly over the filling, securing it into a roll. Repeat this process with the remaining slices of bread.
5
In a shallow dish, whisk together the beaten eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and a pinch of kosher salt until well combined.
6
Gently place the rolled bread into the egg mixture, allowing them to soak for a minute or two. Turn them occasionally to ensure an even coating. Allow any excess mixture to drip off before cooking.
7
Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the unsalted butter, allowing it to melt and bubble.
8
Place the soaked roll-ups into the skillet, making sure not to overcrowd. Cook for about 5 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown and crispy on all sides.
9
In a separate shallow bowl, mix together the sugar and cinnamon.
10
Once cooked, immediately roll each warm French toast roll-up in the cinnamon-sugar mixture to coat evenly. Serve hot with maple syrup for dipping or drizzling.
