To make your own Blueberry French Toast Roll-Ups, gather the following ingredients:
For the Roll-Ups:
- Bread: 8 slices of white or whole wheat bread (crusts removed).
- Cream Cheese: 4 ounces, softened.
- Blueberries: 1 cup (fresh or frozen).
- Powdered Sugar: 2 tablespoons (optional, for sweetness).
- Eggs: 3 large.
- Milk: ½ cup.

How to Make Blueberry French Toast Roll-Ups
Step 1: Prepare the Filling
In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar (if using). Mix until smooth and creamy. Gently fold in the blueberries, being careful not to mash them too much. Set aside.
Step 2: Roll the Bread
Take a slice of bread and flatten it slightly using a rolling pin. Spoon a generous tablespoon of the blueberry cream cheese mixture onto one end of the slice. Roll it up tightly, starting from the end with the filling. Repeat this process with the remaining bread slices and filling.
Step 3: Make the Egg Mixture
In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, cinnamon, and vanilla extract until well combined. This mixture will coat the roll-ups and give them their French toast flavor.
Step 4: Cook the Roll-Ups
In a large skillet, melt a tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Dip each roll-up into the egg mixture, making sure to coat them thoroughly, and place them seam-side down in the skillet. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Add more butter to the skillet as needed for cooking the remaining roll-ups.
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy
Once cooked, remove the roll-ups from the skillet and place them on a plate. Drizzle with maple syrup, sprinkle with additional powdered sugar, or top with whipped cream and extra blueberries if desired. Serve warm and watch them disappear!
