French Toast Rolls

     As I begin this post, I realize that I'm apparently on a chocolate hazelnut spread and French Toast kick.  This particular recipe combines those two delicious ingredients into one extra yummy breakfast!  I love this recipe because it's super easy and uses ingredients commonly found in the house.  This recipe is also fun because you can mix up the filling for whatever you like or have on hand.  Enjoy!

French Toast Rolls

Ingredients:
Sliced bread (any type will work, I use whole wheat or grain)
Reduced fat cream cheese
Chocolate hazelnut spread
Fresh fruit (I usually have strawberries and blueberries around but any fruit would work)
Ground cinnamon and sugar (I love cinnamon so my mix in half and half)
Egg, beaten with a splash of milk

Directions:
Trim the crusts off each slice of bread.  Save these crusts in the freezer for homemade bread crumbs!  Chop you fresh fruit into small pieces.  Spread the cinnamon sugar mixture out onto a plate.  Beat your egg with a dash of milk in a bowl.

Heat a griddle or non-stick skillet over medium heat.  Spray a little non-stick spray for good measure.  Spread a little chocolate hazelnut spread OR cream cheese on one edge of a slice of bread.  Top with some of your fresh fruit.  Roll the bread up to make a fruit filled stick.  Dip the stick into egg mixture and carefully place in the pan.  Roll the stick over as it cooks.  The French Toast roll should golden brown all the way around.

While the rolls are still warm, roll them around in the cinnamon sugar mix.  Eat immediately!  Feel free to mix up the fillings.  We usually make half chocolate and strawberry and half cream cheese and blueberry.  Yum-o!
