Description

Crispy air fryer strawberry French toast roll-ups with a cinnamon-sugar shell and warm strawberry jam center. Made with plain sandwich bread and ready in 20 minutes.

Ingredients 

  • 8 slices white sandwich bread, crusts removed
  • 4 tablespoons cream cheese, softened (optional)
  • 1/4 cup strawberry jam, or preserves
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, divided
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, optional, for coating
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar, for dusting
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, sliced, for serving (optional)

Instructions

  • Trim the crusts from the bread. Flatten each slice with a rolling pin until about half its original thickness.
  • If using cream cheese, spread about 1/2 tablespoon thinly across each slice, leaving a 1/2-inch border on all sides.
  • Spread about 1 1/2 teaspoons of strawberry jam along one short end of each slice, keeping the border clear.
  • Roll each slice tightly from the filled end toward the empty end. Press the seam firmly to seal.
  • In a shallow dish, whisk the eggs, milk, vanilla, and 1/4 teaspoon of the cinnamon until fully combined.
  • On a plate, mix the granulated sugar with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon, if using.
  • Dip each roll-up in the egg mixture for 2 to 3 seconds, turning to coat all sides and both ends. Let the excess drip off.
  • Roll each coated log in the cinnamon sugar, if using.
  • Preheat the air fryer to 375°F. Grease the basket or line it with perforated parchment.
  • Place the roll-ups seam side down in a single layer, leaving space between each one. Work in batches if needed.
  • Cook for 8 to 10 minutes, flipping at the 5 minute mark, until deep golden brown and firm.
  • Dust with powdered sugar and serve warm with fresh strawberries and syrup or extra jam for dipping.

Equipment

  • Cooking Spray
  • Parchment Paper, optional

Notes

  • Day-old bread holds its shape better than fresh.
  • Always place roll-ups seam side down so they don't unroll.
  • Don't overcrowd the basket. Air circulation is what makes them crisp.
  • Second batches cook faster — start checking at 6 minutes.
  • Leftovers keep 3 days refrigerated; reheat at 300°F for 2 to 3 minutes.
