French Toast Roll Ups With Lemon Curd And Blueberries Recipes

Steps:

• Grease an 8-inch square baking dish with butter.
• Add the butter to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment and whip on medium speed for 1 minute. With the mixer running, slowly pour in the maple syrup and 1 teaspoon of the vanilla bean paste and whip until completely combined. Transfer to a serving bowl and reserve.
• Keep the rolls intact and slice across the equator to create 1 large top and 1 large bottom roll. Place the bottom roll in the baking dish, then spread with 2 tablespoons of the maple butter. Sprinkle with the lemon zest and half of the blueberries and top with the top roll.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the milk, cream, sugar, eggs, remaining 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste and a pinch of salt. Pour the mixture over the rolls. Cover and refrigerate at least 8 hours.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 40 to 45 minutes. Remove the foil, then continue to bake until golden brown, about 10 more minutes.
• Arrange scoops of the maple butter on top and sprinkle with the bacon and remaining blueberries. Serve with additional maple syrup.

Steps:

• For the roll-ups: Whisk together the eggs, milk, granulated sugar, vanilla, cinnamon and salt in a medium bowl until completely combined. Set aside until ready to use.
• Using a rolling pin, roll each slice of bread to flatten and make more pliable. Trim the crust off each slice.
• For the banana-strawberry: Arrange a few slices of banana along the bottom edge of a slice of bread making a 1-inch strip of banana all the way across. Top with a line of chopped strawberries (about 1 tablespoon), being careful not to put too many down or you might not be able to roll it up. Starting with the side of the bread with the fruit, carefully roll into a tight log so that the fruit is snugly wrapped in bread. Continue with remaining bread and fruit.
• For the blueberry and cream cheese: Spread 1 teaspoon cream cheese in a 3/4-inch strip along the bottom of a slice of bread. Top with 2 rows of blueberries (about 2 to 3 tablespoons) being careful not to put too many down or you might not be able to roll it up. Starting with the side of the bread with the fruit, carefully roll into a tight log so that the fruit is snugly wrapped in bread. Continue with the remaining bread and fillings.
• For the apple-peanut butter: Spread 1 teaspoon peanut butter in a 3/4-inch strip along the bottom of a slice of bread. Top with some apple, being careful not to put too much down or you might not be able to roll it up. Starting with the side of the bread with the fruit, carefully roll into a tight log so that the fruit is snugly wrapped in bread. Continue with the remaining bread and fillings.
• For the sausage and cheese: Lay half a slice of Cheddar along the bottom of a slice of bread. Top with a cooked sausage link. Starting with the side of the bread with the sausage, carefully roll into a tight log so that the sausage is snugly wrapped in bread. Continue with the remaining bread, cheese and sausages.
• For cooking: Dip each roll-up in the reserved egg mixture and turn to coat all sides, making sure that the egg seals up the exposed edge so that the roll-up doesn't unravel. Repeat with the remaining roll-ups.
• Heat 1 tablespoon butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat and cook half of the roll-ups, gently pressing down on each roll-up to make a flat edge against the pan, until all 4 sides are golden brown, about 1 minute per side. Transfer to a plate and cover to keep warm. Repeat with the remaining tablespoon butter and remaining 6 roll-ups.
• Dust with confectioners' sugar and serve with maple syrup on the side.

Steps:

• Beat cream cheese, egg yolk, and 1/4 cup sugar together in a bowl until smooth. Pour melted butter into a separate shallow bowl. Mix remaining 3/4 cup sugar and cinnamon together in a third shallow bowl.
• Spread even amounts of the cream cheese mixture onto one side of each bread slice. Roll the bread into a cylinder around the cream cheese filling. Brush melted butter around the outside of each cylinder and roll the cylinders in the cinnamon-sugar mixture to coat.
• Arrange the rolls in a dish, cover with plastic wrap, and freeze for at least 2 hours.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Transfer frozen rolls to a baking dish and bake in preheated oven until hot in the center, 10 to 12 minutes.

Steps:

• Trim the bread crusts and use a rolling pin to flatten each slice into a square.
• Spread about 1 tablespoon peanut butter, followed by 1/2 tablespoon hazelnut spread onto each bread square. Sprinkle about 1/2 teaspoon mini chocolate chips on each bread square, and roll up.
• Whisk eggs and milk together in a small bowl. Coat each roll with the egg mixture.
• Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Place roll ups seam side down into the skillet and cook until golden brown on all sides, 4 to 5 minutes. Add more butter to the skillet, if necessary.
• Sprinkle cinnamon sugar onto a plate, and as soon as roll ups come out of the skillet, roll them in the sugar, shaking off excess. Serve warm.

Steps:

• Make the egg mixture for Perfect French Toast using 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger instead of nutmeg. Spread lemon curd on 4 thick slices brioche, top with blueberries, then another bread slice. Press together; dip in the egg mixture, then fry and bake as directed. Top with confectioners' sugar.

Steps:

• Mix together the brown sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Set aside.
• In a separate bowl, whisk together the cream, maple syrup, vanilla and eggs until well combined. Set aside.
• With a rolling pin, flatten 1 slice of bread. Brush with the melted butter, then sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of the cinnamon sugar. Spoon a line of pie filling along one of the short sides of the flattened bread. Starting with the pie filling side, roll the bread tightly, enclosing the filling in the middle. Set aside seam-side down and repeat with the remaining bread slices, butter, cinnamon sugar and pie filling.
• Heat 4 tablespoons butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat.
• Dip each French toast roll into the egg mixture, making sure to completely cover, then add to the skillet. Cook until browned on all sides, 3 to 4 minutes total.
• Remove to a plate and dust with confectioners' sugar. Serve warm with extra syrup on the side for dipping.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Spray a mini muffin tin with cooking spray and set aside.
• Unroll thawed puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured work surface. Roll into a large rectangular sheet, and using a pizza cutter or knife, cut into 24 equal pieces. Press each piece into a muffin cup, and use a fork to prick the bottom several times.
• Cut Brie cheese into 24 small cubes, and place a cube into each muffin cup. Top each with about 1/2 teaspoon of lemon curd.
• Place muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake until the pastry is puffed and the corners turn golden brown, 12 to 14 minutes.
• Remove from the oven and cool in the pan for about 5 minutes. Remove bites to a serving plate, top each with a blueberry, dust with confectioners' sugar, and garnish with a small mint leaf, if desired.
• Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
