French toast roll-ups wrap a filling of your choice in flattened bread, then pan-fry it in an egg and cinnamon coating. The outsides turn golden and a quick roll in cinnamon sugar finishes them. Serve warm with syrup, whipped cream or fruit for dipping.

- 8 slices of white or whole-wheat bread (crusts removed)
