A few weeks in the past I posted Ham & Cheese French Toastie Roll Ups. French toast you’ll be able to eat along with your arms and tastes like ham and cheese toasties.

After these roll ups turned out so nicely, I merely needed to provide you with a bacon model. As a result of…..you realize…..bacon. The scent of scorching bacon within the morning is the most effective factor on the earth, particularly when you had an excessive amount of wine final night time. The individual that figures out how one can bottle it up will turn out to be a billionaire. Or perhaps not. As a result of I simply realised how disappointing it might be to get up to the scent of frying bacon solely to search out there’s no bacon to be consumed.

“These are tremendous straightforward to make, as lengthy as you employ contemporary grocery store sandwich bread. Fancy artisan bread is not any good for this recipe!”

These Bacon French Toast Roll Ups are da bomb! Crispy bacon encased by bread that’s been dipped in a french toast egg combination, then pan fried till gloriously golden brown. When you have self restraint points like me, it would take you 2 bites and 5 seconds to inhale every roll up.

“In case you actually need to go all out, dunk them in Nachos Cheese Dip. There are merely no phrases to explain how insanely, eye-rollingly good that is.”

These are tremendous straightforward to make. I do know it would look tedious, nevertheless it’s in no way. I don’t do tedious. The one tip is to make use of contemporary sandwich bread. Simply plain sandwich bread you get from the grocery store. None of that fancy artisan bread, like sourdough and ciabattas. These are not any good for these roll ups.

The explanation it is advisable to use contemporary sandwich bread is as a result of stale bread gained’t keep rolled up. In actual fact, it type of crumbles whenever you roll it up as a result of it’s too dry. I make these with bread that’s a day outdated at most. If the bread is 2 to three days outdated, you want further egg combination to re-moisten the bread. I’ve supplied instructions within the notes to the recipe.

These are loopy good as they’re, however when you actually need to catapult them into one other universe, then serve them with Nacho Cheese Dip. So. Insanely. Good. I’m misplaced for phrases.

OK, I have to log out proper now as a result of in any other case I’ll preserve rattling on and also you want the recipe. You want it. You actually do.

Ingredients

  • 6 slices fresh soft sandwich bread (I used white, but you could use wholemeal, wholegrain etc) (note 1)
  • 6 slices of streaky bacon , rind removed (note 3)
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 1 egg (large) (note 4)
  • 2 tbsp milk (full cream or low fat)
  • Pinch of salt
  • Nachos Cheese Dip

Instructions

  1. Cut crusts off the bread.
  2. Use a rolling pin and roll back and forth 3 or 4 times on each piece of bread to flatten it out. Because it is fresh bread, it should become a bit sticky.
  3. Combine egg, milk and salt in a dish or bowl that is large enough for a roll up to lie flat in (so you can roll it in the egg mixture). Whisk with a fork to combine.
  4. Heat large pan over high heat (no oil required because the bacon is so fatty).
  5. Place bacon in the pan and sear each side until browned but not until it is crispy. If it is too crispy, it will just crumble when rolled up.
  6. Place one piece of bacon in the middle of each piece of bread.
  7. Roll up the bread, ending with the seam side down. Press down lightly to help it stay in place.
  8. Wipe pan clean, place butter in pan and return pan to heat.
  9. Roll a roll up in the egg mixture, then shake off excess. Enclose your fist around it (lightly) and twist the roll up a few times back and forth. This rubs the egg mixture into the roll up and helps ensure the seam remains sealed. Repeat with remaining roll ups.
  10. Place roll ups in the pan. Cook, rotating, for around 3 to 4 minutes until all sides are golden brown.
  11. Remove and serve immediately, with warmed Nachos Cheese Dip (if using).

Notes

1. You must use fresh bread for this recipe, not stale bread (which I normally preach for french toast recipes). The reason is that fresh bread compresses better when you flatten it with a rolling pin (stale bread springs back) and also sticks to itself a bit when you roll it up, helping to seal the seam. If you use even slightly stale bread, it is more effort to keep these rolled up (see next note). This recipe doesn't work at all with stale bread because it isn't pliable enough to roll up (the bread just flakes and falls apart).
This recipe is not suitable for artisan breads like sourdough, or hard Italian breads like ciabatta. It only works with soft sandwich bread.
2. I have made these with slightly stale bread before. As noted above, it is harder because they don't stay rolled up as well, they unravel. To get around this, I doubled the egg mixture. Before rolling up the bread, I very quickly dipped each slice of bread in the egg mixture, then rolled it up. Then after rolling it up, I dipped it in the egg mixture again, as per the recipe. The reason for the double egg dip is that it adds moisture back into the bread and makes it pliable enough to stay rolled up as well as to seal the seam.
3. This recipe requires streaky bacon because the shape of it is suitable for rolling up. Streaky bacon is the bacon which has strips of fat running through it. Middle bacon is the most common in Australia, though you can buy streaky bacon at the supermarket deli nowadays. Middle bacon consists of the loin at one end (which is also sold separately as Shortcut bacon) as well as the streaky fatty part. In America, I understand that streaky bacon is the most common.
4. The surface area of these roll ups required to be coated with egg mixture is considerably less than traditional french toast. So 1 egg should be enough for 6 roll ups. However, I buy large eggs. If you have small eggs, I recommend doubling the egg mixture.
5. Nutrition excludes Nachos Cheese Dip.
