About the Recipe
Who doesn’t like French toast for breakfast? If my kids have their way, they can eat them every single day. I love making my eggless French toast for breakfast at least once a month. So, this French toast roll ups idea came about while browsing through Pinterest. It reminds me of a stuffed pancake recipe served at a popular pancake chain in the US. Stuffing the bread with Nutella, strawberry jam and cream cheese before dipping in the custard makes this recipe taste amazing. The best part is that the fillings can be whatever you like. If Nutella is not your thing, then simply use jam or just chopped berries. This is a no egg French toast roll up recipe. Instead of eggs, I use custard powder and it works like a magic.

If you are wondering, how to make French toast rolls without eggs, then here’s how to make then: In a shallow plate or a pie pan, combine custard powder, milk, sugar and vanilla extract. Whisk until well combined. Set aside. Roll the bread slices to flatten them a little using a rolling pin. Removing the edges is optional, I left them on mine. Spread the filling (s) of choice on the bottom quarter of the bread and roll it into a tight roll. Heat 1 tablespoon butter in a skillet on medium heat. Dip the bread roll in milk mixture, roll it around so that it absorbs milk evenly, then place seam side down in the preheated skillet. Cook until all sides are evenly browned, about 2~3 minutes on medium flame. Enjoy right away with a drizzle of maple syrup.
