If you have a sweet tooth, if your kids are hovering around or if you generally lack self control around food, you should stop reading now. I meant it. Don’t look at the photo of these Strawberry Nutella French Toast Roll Ups!
“This is how you justify having dessert for breakfast…”
The problem with these Strawberry Nutella French Toast Roll Ups is that they are way too easy to make. Because frankly, let’s not kid ourselves, these are not a normal breakfast by any stretch of the imagination. I made these in the morning to take photos and as I munched on them afterwards, all I could think was “damn, these are the best doughnuts ever”. The thought of them being breakfast never even occurred to me.
But, but, but…..it’s french toast! French toast is for breakfast!
Okaaaaay then….okay. So is this how you justify having dessert for breakfast?
This isn’t an original recipe I came up with. I’ve seen strawberry stuffed french toast roll ups “around”, but I have noticed that they all seem to use cream cheese rather than Nutella. I tried it with cream cheese, but I much prefer making these with Nutella because….well, Nutella vs cream cheese? Nutella wins, hands down, every single time.
It constantly amazes me that with a handful of ingredients you can whip up a breakfast like this in 15 minutes. Honestly, no matter how sketchy I’m feeling after a few too many wines the night before, I can still muster up the strength to make these. And after a few bites, I perk up considerably!
I know it’s tempting to head out for brunch on the weekend, but why not stay in and try these? Coffee refills are free, and brunch at home means you don’t have to get out of your PJ’s or straighten your hair (ahh, the joys of being a girl!).
Happy brunching! – Nagi

Strawberry Nutella French Toast Roll Ups
Ingredients
- 6 slices fresh white sandwich bread , crusts removed
- 1/2 punnet strawberries , diced small
- 4 1/2 tbsp Nutella
- 1/4 cup caster sugar (superfine sugar) (Note 1)
- 1 tbsp butter
Egg Mixture
- 1 egg (large)
- 2 tbsp milk (full cream or low fat)
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Combine Egg Mixture in a bowl with a flat base large enough to lie the roll up in. Whisk to combine.
- Spread sugar out in a small dish.
- Use a rolling pin to roll the bread flat. This makes them easier to roll up (and stay rolled up).
- Spread each piece of bread with around 3/4 tbsp of Nutella.
- Sprinkle strawberries along the bottom of each piece of bread.
- Roll up bread. The Nutella will keep it sealed.
- Melt butter in pan over medium high heat.
- Roll each roll up in the Egg Mixture, shake off excess then place in the pan. Repeat with remaining roll ups.
- Cook for around 4 minutes until each side is golden, rotating every 1 minute or so.
- Remove from pan and immediately place in the sugar. Roll to coat in sugar, then remove. Repeat with remaining roll ups.
- Serve immediately, while warm.

Thanks Rachel!
I love your french toast roll ups Nagi! What a fun thing to make for guests (or just for myself!) this holiday season.
Thanks Marissa! And FUN is right – fun to make and to eat!!
I love breakfast in…and dessert for breakfast? You’re speaking my language 🙂 I’d take these over eggs and bacon any day!
Ha! I’m with you Anna!
OMFG!!!! Ok, so I know I keep saying, ‘I’m not much of a sweets person….” I think maybe you’ve turned me into one! Because every sweet dish you post, I think ‘OMFG, I need that in my life!’ Nutella is one of those items I could just sit on the couch with a big spoon and shovel into my mouth! Now you’re pairing it with fresh strawberries and making it into french toast!!!!!???? Seriously, Nagi…. you’re killing me over here (in a good way) 🙂
I know what you mean! I’m the same – I’m more savoury but there are just some things that make you go “YES, I need that in my life”! And this is on that list! 🙂
Nagi! These are amazing and I can’t wait to try them. I LOVE nutella and love that there is now a sweet version of the french toast roll ups you made up with bacon. You could even make both for one brunch! What a creative idea, and a simple recipe too (the best are always the simplest!). Thanks for sharing! Pinned! 🙂
Thanks Sarah! You’re so sweet! 🙂 I’m glad you like them!
One more vote for nutella! Those French toast rolls are awesome! Another beautiful and stunning sets of pictures! I really like the raw ingredients one. The strawberries are creaming out loud “eat me!”
Oh thanks Maggie! It’s the first time I’ve tried raw vegetable photos, glad someone noticed them! I wondered whether they were worth doing 🙂
Hi Nagi! I just discovered your wonderfully tempting space via Maureen. Gotta check out your 15 minutes recipes because let’s face it, those always come handy. =D
Oh and I agree, nutella beats cream cheese, no doubt! 😉
Thanks Helen! I recognise your name – I think I’ve visited your site before! Popping over again to say hello and check out the tasty things you’ve been sharing!
Oh these look amazing!!
Why have I not thought to make something like that before.
I know this is a breakfast to come for our household!!
Thanks for sharing.

P.S Stop by and say hi 🙂
Hi Julie, thanks for coming by!! I would love to hear what you think!
If Maureen tells me you are a friend then I am sure I will be friends with you too. My nephews love nuttela french roll toasts and ask me to make them eat time I visit. They are delicious and definately soak up that extra glass of wine
Your nephews have excellent taste Tania!! And yes, we will be friends because I just got back from your blog and saw pizza dip….I just shared one the other week. We have similar tastes!! Clearly a mutual love for cheese….:)
Brunch is my favourite meal of the day, and these look to die for!!!!
I’m with you Mariana! A great brunch really makes my day 🙂
Nagi, these look so much like doughnuts that I had to look twice at the ingredients list to check that there really are so few ingredients! You are a naughty one you know because now you really have me wanting to make these for brekky this weekend. Shame it isn’t strawberry season over here.
P.S. I am sooo jealous of your morning Aussie sunshine! You’ve got beautiful light in those photos!
Helen, I really shouldn’t rub it in should I? Especially given it is officially winter for you tomorrow – and we all know how harsh UK winters can be!! Glad you like the look of this! Feel free to use other berries – nutella is pretty versatile!!
Nagi, these are gorgeous and perfect addition to a brunch menu! Heck, I could eat these for dessert too.
Thank you Sandra!! Actually, I have made them for dessert – for kids (but the adults got stuck into them too!!)
I’ve done the cream cheese ones and they did win a small prize but nutella?? I think that gets the blue ribbon.
Thanks Maureen! Somehow I’m not surprised your cream cheese french toast won an award 😉 One day I will turn up on your door step and you’re going to make them for me!
We adore Nutella and these roll ups look deliciously tasty!
Thank you so much!! I want to find someone that DOESN’T adore nutella!!
I’ve been waiting for another version of these french toast roll ups, and I can say these strawberry Nutella ones are my favorite!!! And I totally lack self control around food and can’t wait to try them 🙂 Delicious! Pinned 🙂
Thanks Mira!! I have to say, this is my favourite combination too. Nutella + strawberries – SO GOOD!
Yum – these look like a delicious breakfast treat! I found your from Maureen’s blog and it’s always nice to find new food blogs. I’ll visit again for sure!
Thanks Amy! Popping over to visit you too 🙂
