Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 slices sandwich bread (crusts removed)
  • Peanut butter (as needed)
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Butter (for cooking)
  • Powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)
  • Fresh berries, sliced (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Bread: Flatten each slice using a rolling pin for easy rolling.
  2. Spread and Roll: Apply a layer of peanut butter to each slice and roll them tightly.
  3. Mix the Batter: In a shallow dish, whisk eggs, milk, and vanilla extract until combined.
  4. Cook the Roll-Ups: Heat a skillet, melt butter, and cook the roll-ups after dipping them in the egg mixture. Turn occasionally for even browning.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Dust with powdered sugar and garnish with berries if desired.

Notes

  • Bread Type: You can use regular sandwich bread, but brioche or challah bread works great for a richer, fluffier texture. Just ensure the bread is soft and not too thick.
  • Peanut Butter Consistency: If you’re using peanut butter with added oil, you may want to mix it well before spreading to avoid it becoming too runny. Smooth peanut butter is generally easier to spread and less messy.
  • Egg Mixture: You can add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the egg mixture for extra flavor.
  • Cooking Tips: Make sure the skillet is at medium heat—too high can cause the roll-ups to burn before cooking through. Use enough butter to ensure the roll-ups don’t stick but not so much that they become greasy.
  • Customization: Feel free to experiment with different fillings, such as Nutella, almond butter, or even a light cream cheese spread.
  • Serving Suggestions: Add whipped cream, maple syrup, or a drizzle of honey for a sweeter treat.
  • Leftovers: While these roll-ups are best served fresh, you can store them in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat in a skillet to keep the crispy texture.
