Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 slices white sandwich bread, crusts trimmed
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 3 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup fresh raspberries (or frozen, thawed and drained)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup milk
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter, for frying
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar, for dusting
  • Extra raspberries, for garnish (optional)
  • Maple syrup or raspberry sauce, for serving (optional)

Instructions

  1. Lay out 8 slices of sandwich bread and trim off the crusts. Flatten each slice to about 1/8-inch thick using a rolling pin.
  2. In a medium bowl, mix cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
  3. Gently fold in raspberries. If using frozen, drain and roughly chop them. Do not overmix.
  4. Spread a generous tablespoon of the cheesecake mixture along one edge of each bread slice. Roll up each slice tightly, starting from the filled edge, and press to seal.
  5. In a shallow bowl, whisk together eggs and milk until fully combined. Add a splash more vanilla if desired.
  6. Dip each roll-up into the egg mixture, turning gently to coat all sides. Do not soak.
  7. Melt butter in a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add roll-ups seam-side down and fry for 2-3 minutes per side, turning until golden brown and crispy.
  8. Transfer roll-ups to a plate lined with paper towel to absorb excess butter.
  9. Dust with powdered sugar using a small sieve and garnish with extra raspberries if desired.
  10. Serve immediately with maple syrup or raspberry sauce.

Notes

Use slightly stale bread for best results. Seal roll-ups tightly to prevent filling from leaking. Fry in batches and keep finished roll-ups warm in a 200°F oven if needed. For extra crunch, roll in cinnamon-sugar after frying. Can be made gluten-free or dairy-free with substitutions.
