Preparation of the chocolate French toast rolls

  1. First you have to cut off the crust from the toast. Then roll over the bread slices with a rolling pin and flatten them a little.
  2. Spread the chocolate cream on the toasts and then roll them up tightly.
  3. In the next step you have to whisk the egg and milk together and pour them into a shallow bowl or deep plate.

So you can modify the Nutella rolls

If you want to refine the recipe, you can mash a very ripe banana with a fork and spread it on the Nutella toast before rolling it up. Alternatively, the rolls can also be used with chopped fruits, such as strawberries or blueberries, are filled, but then they can no longer be rolled up quite as well. And in combination with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, cream or vanilla sauce the French Toast Rolls are ideal as a dessert.

By the way, you don't have to throw away the crust of bread: You can cut it into cubes, turn it in the leftover egg-milk mixture and then fry it in the pan with a little cinnamon sugar – the delicious way to use leftovers!
