CRANBERRY FRENCH TOAST ROLL UPS

Servings: 5

INGREDIENTS:

10 slices sandwich bread, such as brioche or buttermilk
4 oz cream cheese, softened, cut into chunks
1 cup cranberry sauce
3 eggs
1 tablespoon milk
½ teaspoon cinnamon
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon butter
Powdered sugar, for garnish

PREPARATION:

1. Roll each slice of bread flat with a rolling pin. Carefully cut off the crusts on all 4 sides.
2. In a bowl, fold cream cheese and cranberry sauce together until semi-incorporated, but not completely smooth and homogeneous.
3. Spread a tablespoon of cranberry cream cheese all over the bread, leaving a thin layer at the top of the slice and moving the majority of the spread to the bottom of the slice. Roll up gently from the bottom.
4. In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, cinnamon, and vanilla. Coat each roll-up in egg mixture.
5. Melt butter in a skillet over low heat. Pan fry the French toast rolls until all sides are golden brown. Sprinkle with powdered sugar before serving.

    PRETTY YUMMY! Can you and Buzzfeed make a special Osechi-Ryori recipe for Japanese New Year? It’d be a hit!

      It is. If you are looking at this on a PC on the internet. look at the three dots at the upper right hand corner of your screen. click on them. you will see the printer icon there. prints just fine.

    My family doesn’t care for cranberry sauce. What can be substituted for that? Something like strawberry or blackberry preserves maybe?

      I made this with cranberry sauce just this morning and it was a hit. If you used a preserves they may be really sweet so I would just use more cream cheese to balance it. Definitely a good idea and easy for kids to help out.
