Best ways to enjoy it
Serving these Nutella French Toast Roll Ups is half the fun! You can dust them with powdered sugar for an elegant touch or serve them with fresh fruit for a burst of color and flavor. Consider pairing them with a side of crispy bacon or a dollop of whipped cream for an indulgent breakfast experience.
Storage and reheating tips
If you happen to have leftovers (which is quite unlikely!), you can store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days. For best results, reheat them in a toaster oven or skillet to restore their crispy texture, rather than using a microwave, which can make them soggy. Freezing is also an option! Just wrap each roll tightly in plastic and they’re good for up to a month!
Helpful cooking tips
For perfect roll ups every time, here are a few chef secrets to keep in mind. First, use day-old bread or lightly toasted bread to help it roll without tearing. Don’t skimp on the Nutella; a generous layer is essential for that rich flavor! If you want to make this dish even easier, prep the rolls the night before and store them in the refrigerator—just dip them in the egg mixture and cook them in the morning!
Creative twists
Feeling adventurous? Here are some fun variations you could try: Swap out Nutella for peanut butter or almond butter for a nutty twist. You could even experiment with fillings like cream cheese and fruit preserves or Nutella and banana. And if you’re looking for a healthier alternative, consider using whole grain bread or adding a sprinkle of nuts for extra crunch.
