We recently posted these Strawberry and Cinnamon French Toast Roll Ups on the blog – and this is their non identical twin – the savory version. If you’re squarely in the savory camp, we also have this yummy recipe for Savory Herb French Toast. In this recipe, we have a little cheese, a little bacon, rolled tightly into a nice little log and then baked where the tops get a little crispy which is my favorite part. I like to top mine with extra butter when it’s hot, but if you’re into sweet and savory stuff you can use syrup. I would because I also like blueberry bagels and vegetable cream cheese. :)

Is it possible to freeze this recipe? Just had my second baby and would love to meal prep this!
Congratulations on the new addition to your family, how exciting! Yes! Once the french toast is baked and cooled completely, tightly wrap the entire dish in plastic wrap followed by foil. It should be used within 2 months. When you’re ready to use it, transfer the french toast to the refrigerator thaw overnight. Set the oven to 350F, remove both the foil + plastic wrap, then rewrap tightly with just the foil. Bake in the oven for about 20 minutes, remove the foil and continue to bake for another 6 to 8 minutes or until the french toast has warmed through completely. Enjoy!
think id like to add a little cream cheese to the inside of these rolls. or maybe that vegetable cream cheese specifically. Who doesnt love a little schmear
Oh man, that’s such a good idea!
Hi, I definitely want to try this. Since it would make a perfect post-run breakfast/brunch, I want to ask if this can be refrigerated overnight before baking, or would the bread soak too much?
Totally fine to cover + leave overnight! :)
I think there’s an error in step 8 where it begins strawberry-French toast rollups. Looks delish otherwise!
Lol, you’re totally right. Recipe has been updated :)
