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. :)

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 :)
