Ingredients
For the Rolls:
- 8 slices of soft sandwich bread (white or brioche works best)
- 8 mini peanut butter cups (or ½ cup chopped peanut butter cups)
- 2 large eggs
- ¼ cup milk or heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons butter (for frying)
Optional Toppings:
- Powdered sugar
- Chocolate drizzle
- Maple syrup
- Whipped cream
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Bread
- Trim the crusts off each slice of bread.
- Use a rolling pin to flatten each slice—this makes them easier to roll and helps keep the filling snug inside.
Step 2: Add the Filling
- Place a mini peanut butter cup or a spoonful of chopped peanut butter cups near one edge of each bread slice.
- Roll the bread tightly around the filling, sealing the edge with a dab of water if needed.
Step 3: Make the Custard
- In a shallow bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Step 4: Dip & Fry
- Heat butter in a skillet over medium heat.
- Dip each roll into the custard mixture, ensuring it’s fully coated.
- Place the rolls in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, turning until golden brown and crispy.
Step 5: Finishing Touches
- Remove from the skillet and let them cool slightly.
- Dust with powdered sugar, drizzle with chocolate, or serve with maple syrup for extra indulgence.
Serving & Storage Tips
- Best served warm and fresh.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
- Reheat in a skillet or oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5 minutes to maintain crispiness.
These Peanut Butter Cup French Toast Rolls are a dreamy fusion of breakfast and dessert, making them a must-try for any sweet tooth. Would you like variations, such as Nutella or fruit-filled options? 😊
