Let’s Get Cooking!
- Flatten each slice of bread: Using a rolling pin, flatten each slice of bread until it’s nice and thin, this makes it super easy to roll up.
- Spread a layer of Nutella: Generously apply Nutella on each piece of bread, but don’t go overboard; you still want to be able to roll them tightly.
- Roll the slices up: Carefully roll each slice of bread tightly; they should look like little logs when you’re done.
- Prepare the egg dip: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well-combined. Add a pinch of salt to the mixture for extra flavor.
- Dip the roll-ups in the egg mixture: Take each roll-up and dip it into the egg mixture, ensuring it’s evenly coated.
- Heat the butter: In a skillet over medium heat, melt a generous amount of butter, letting it foam up before you add the roll-ups.
- Cook until golden brown: Fry the roll-ups, turning them occasionally until they’re golden brown on all sides, this usually takes about 3-4 minutes.
- Prepare the cinnamon-sugar: While they’re cooking, mix together cinnamon and sugar in a separate bowl.
- Toss in the cinnamon-sugar mixture: Once they’re done cooking, toss the warm roll-ups in the cinnamon-sugar mixture to coat them nicely.
- Serve warm: Your delicious Nutella French Toast Roll Ups are now ready! Serve them warm alongside a drizzle of maple syrup, and get ready to hear your family’s joyous exclamations!

Storage
If you have leftovers (I’m honestly impressed!), place them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They are best eaten right away, but they will keep for about 2-3 days.
Reheating Instructions
To reheat, pop them in the microwave for 20-30 seconds, or you can rewarm them in a skillet briefly to bring back that crispy outside texture.
Freezer Friendly
These roll-ups can also be frozen! Just wrap each one tightly in plastic wrap and place them in a freezer bag. They’ll keep for up to a month. When you’re ready to use them, let them thaw in the fridge overnight and follow the reheating instructions!
