Ingredients you’ll need

(Exact Measurements in the recipe card below)

White Sandwich Bread – Soft sandwich bread works best because it rolls easily and creates a tender French toast texture once cooked. Removing the crusts allows the bread to flatten and roll without tearing.
Nutella – Nutella creates the rich, creamy chocolate hazelnut filling that makes these French toast roll-ups extra indulgent. The warm filling melts slightly while cooking for a delicious gooey center.
Fresh Strawberries – Fresh diced strawberries add natural sweetness, bright flavor, and a fruity contrast to the rich Nutella filling.
Eggs – Eggs create the classic French toast coating and help give the roll-ups their golden exterior while cooking.
Whole Milk – Milk helps create a smooth French toast batter and adds richness to the coating.
Vanilla Extract – Vanilla enhances the sweet breakfast flavors and adds a warm bakery-style flavor.
Cinnamon & Sugar – Cinnamon and sugar add the classic French toast flavor and create a lightly sweet coating around each roll-up.

Tips for Perfect Pancake & Sausage Bites Every Time

Flatten the Bread Before Rolling – Use a rolling pin to flatten each slice of bread. This makes the bread easier to roll and helps prevent cracks or tearing.
Don’t Overfill the Roll-Ups – Use just enough Nutella and strawberries to create a delicious filling without making the roll-ups difficult to seal or cook.
Dice Strawberries Small – Smaller strawberry pieces distribute evenly and help prevent excess moisture from making the bread soggy.
Dip Quickly in the Egg Mixture – Coat each roll-up quickly instead of soaking it. Too much liquid can make the bread difficult to handle.
Cook Seam-Side Down First – Starting with the seam side down helps seal the roll-up and keeps the filling inside while cooking.
Serve Warm – These roll-ups are best served fresh while the Nutella is warm and creamy.

How to Properly Store the Pancake Bites

Room Temperature – These French toast roll-ups are best enjoyed fresh but can be kept covered at room temperature for a few hours.
Refrigerator – Store leftover roll-ups in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or skillet until warmed through.
Freezer – Allow cooked roll-ups to cool completely before placing them in a freezer-safe container. Freeze for up to 1 month. Reheat in the oven, air fryer, or skillet for the best texture.
Reheating Tips – Warm in a skillet or air fryer to help restore the lightly golden exterior. The microwave works as well but will create a softer texture.

Small mixing bowl

Nonstick skillet or griddle
Spatula
Plate

Ingredients

For the Roll-Ups
8 slices white sandwich bread
1/2 cup Nutella
1 cup fresh strawberries finely diced
2 tablespoons butter for cooking
For the French Toast Coating
2 large eggs
1/4 cup whole milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon granulated sugar

Instructions

Prepare the bread: Remove the crusts from each slice of bread. Using a rolling pin, flatten each slice until thin and easy to roll.
Add the filling: Spread approximately 1 tablespoon of Nutella evenly over each slice of bread, leaving a small border around the edges. Sprinkle diced strawberries over the Nutella.
Roll: Starting at one end, tightly roll each slice of bread into a log. Set aside with the seam facing down.
Make the French toast mixture: In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and sugar until well combined.
Dip the roll-ups: Quickly dip each roll-up into the egg mixture, turning to coat all sides. Do not soak them, or the bread may become difficult to handle.
Cook: Melt the butter in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Place the roll-ups seam-side down in the skillet. Cook, turning occasionally, until all sides are golden brown and the egg mixture is fully cooked, about 5–7 minutes total.
Serve: Transfer the roll-ups to a plate and serve warm. Dust with powdered sugar and add fresh strawberries or a drizzle of Nutella if desired.

Notes

Use ripe strawberries: Choose strawberries that are sweet and ripe, but avoid overly juicy berries so the bread doesn’t become soggy.
Don’t overfill: Too much Nutella or strawberry filling can cause the roll-ups to burst while cooking.
Dip quickly: A quick coating in the egg mixture works best. Avoid soaking the bread.
Make them ahead: The roll-ups can be assembled a few hours ahead and refrigerated until ready to cook.
Topping ideas: Serve with powdered sugar, additional strawberries, whipped cream, maple syrup, or a drizzle of warmed Nutella.
Bread substitutions: Soft white sandwich bread works best, but brioche or Texas toast can also be used if flattened well.
For smaller servings: Cut each roll-up in half after cooking for easy serving, especially for kids.
