French Toast Roll Ups From Musselmans Apple Butter Food

FRENCH TOAST ROLL-UPS

Steps:

• Mix together the brown sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Set aside.
• In a separate bowl, whisk together the cream, maple syrup, vanilla and eggs until well combined. Set aside.
• With a rolling pin, flatten 1 slice of bread. Brush with the melted butter, then sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of the cinnamon sugar. Spoon a line of pie filling along one of the short sides of the flattened bread. Starting with the pie filling side, roll the bread tightly, enclosing the filling in the middle. Set aside seam-side down and repeat with the remaining bread slices, butter, cinnamon sugar and pie filling.
• Heat 4 tablespoons butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat.
• Dip each French toast roll into the egg mixture, making sure to completely cover, then add to the skillet. Cook until browned on all sides, 3 to 4 minutes total.
• Remove to a plate and dust with confectioners' sugar. Serve warm with extra syrup on the side for dipping.

FRENCH TOAST ROLL-UPS

Steps:

• For the roll-ups: Whisk together the eggs, milk, granulated sugar, vanilla, cinnamon and salt in a medium bowl until completely combined. Set aside until ready to use.
• Using a rolling pin, roll each slice of bread to flatten and make more pliable. Trim the crust off each slice.
• For the banana-strawberry: Arrange a few slices of banana along the bottom edge of a slice of bread making a 1-inch strip of banana all the way across. Top with a line of chopped strawberries (about 1 tablespoon), being careful not to put too many down or you might not be able to roll it up. Starting with the side of the bread with the fruit, carefully roll into a tight log so that the fruit is snugly wrapped in bread. Continue with remaining bread and fruit.
• For the blueberry and cream cheese: Spread 1 teaspoon cream cheese in a 3/4-inch strip along the bottom of a slice of bread. Top with 2 rows of blueberries (about 2 to 3 tablespoons) being careful not to put too many down or you might not be able to roll it up. Starting with the side of the bread with the fruit, carefully roll into a tight log so that the fruit is snugly wrapped in bread. Continue with the remaining bread and fillings.
• For the apple-peanut butter: Spread 1 teaspoon peanut butter in a 3/4-inch strip along the bottom of a slice of bread. Top with some apple, being careful not to put too much down or you might not be able to roll it up. Starting with the side of the bread with the fruit, carefully roll into a tight log so that the fruit is snugly wrapped in bread. Continue with the remaining bread and fillings.
• For the sausage and cheese: Lay half a slice of Cheddar along the bottom of a slice of bread. Top with a cooked sausage link. Starting with the side of the bread with the sausage, carefully roll into a tight log so that the sausage is snugly wrapped in bread. Continue with the remaining bread, cheese and sausages.
• For cooking: Dip each roll-up in the reserved egg mixture and turn to coat all sides, making sure that the egg seals up the exposed edge so that the roll-up doesn't unravel. Repeat with the remaining roll-ups.
• Heat 1 tablespoon butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat and cook half of the roll-ups, gently pressing down on each roll-up to make a flat edge against the pan, until all 4 sides are golden brown, about 1 minute per side. Transfer to a plate and cover to keep warm. Repeat with the remaining tablespoon butter and remaining 6 roll-ups.
• Dust with confectioners' sugar and serve with maple syrup on the side.

Steps:

• Cut crusts from slices of white bread, and flatten bread with rolling pin.

• In shallow dish, beat eggs and milk with whisk. In another dish, mix sugar and cinnamon.
• In 10-inch skillet, melt butter over medium heat to coat inside of skillet. Dip each roll into egg mixture, and place in skillet. Cook in batches of 3 or 4, turning until roll is browned. Dip into cinnamon sugar, and roll until completely covered. Serve immediately.

FRENCH TOAST ROLL-UPS FROM MUSSELMAN'S® APPLE BUTTER

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with a silicone mat or grease well (the roll-ups will stick to the pan).
• Flatten a slice of bread with a rolling pin to about half of its original thickness. Spread roughly 1 Tablespoon of apple butter evenly on top. Roll up the bread (apple butter side inward) and set aside, seam side down. Repeat with the remaining bread.
• In a bowl, beat together the eggs, 1/4 cup of milk, 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon and nutmeg. Dip each roll-up into the egg mixture, completely covering and shake off the excess. Place on the baking sheet.
• Bake 10 minutes. Pull out of the oven, brush the top side with melted butter, flip each roll, then brush the bottoms with butter. (If they stick, gently use a spatula to loosen them.) Leave the bottom side up and bake another 10 minutes.
• In a small bowl, add the sugar and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon. When the roll-ups are done baking, roll each one in the mixture. Serve warm with dipping sauce (below).
• Dipping Sauce: In a medium bowl, beat together the cream cheese and 1/4 cup of apple butter until smooth. Gradually beat in the powdered sugar and then the remaining 2 Tablespoons of milk.
