Keto Cream Cheese Stuffed French Toast Roll Ups

Instructions

1. Prepare the Filling: In a small bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, powdered erythritol, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
2. Prepare the Bread: Trim the crusts from the bread slices. Use a rolling pin to flatten each slice of bread. Spread about 1 tablespoon of the cream cheese mixture onto each slice, then carefully roll up each slice, pressing gently to seal the seam.
3. Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, and ground cinnamon.
4. Cook the Roll Ups: Heat a large skillet over medium-low heat and add the butter. Once the butter has melted and is sizzling, dip each roll up into the egg mixture, ensuring it is fully coated, then place it in the skillet seam side down. Cook in batches, turning occasionally, until all sides are golden brown and the egg is fully cooked, about 2-3 minutes per side.
5. Serve: Remove the roll ups from the skillet and place them on a serving plate. Sprinkle with additional cinnamon and powdered erythritol if desired. Serve warm with sugar-free maple syrup, fresh berries, or your favorite keto-friendly toppings.

Storage Methods

• Refrigeration: Store leftover roll ups in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or on the stovetop until warmed through.
• Freezing: Freeze uncooked roll ups by placing them on a baking sheet to freeze individually, then transferring them to a freezer-safe bag or container. Cook directly from frozen in the skillet, adding a few extra minutes to the cooking time.

Variations

1. Keto Nutella Stuffed Roll Ups: Replace the cream cheese filling with a keto-friendly hazelnut spread for a chocolatey twist.
2. Berry Cream Cheese Roll Ups: Add fresh raspberries or strawberries to the cream cheese filling for a burst of fruity flavor.
3. Savory Spin: Omit the sweeteners and cinnamon, and instead, add herbs and spices to create a savory version with spinach, bacon, or sausage.
4. Pumpkin Spice Roll Ups: Add pumpkin puree and pumpkin spice to the cream cheese filling for a seasonal variation.
