Ingredient Breakdown

Bread

Soft white or brioche bread works best, it absorbs the custard and stays fluffy.

Cream Cheese

Adds the perfect creamy filling; use regular or whipped for easier spreading.

Raspberries

Fresh or thawed frozen raspberries give bright color and flavor.

Sugar

Sweetens both the filling and the coating for a caramelized finish.

Eggs

Bind the custard and help the bread turn golden in the pan.

Milk or Half-and-Half

Adds creaminess and richness to the egg mixture.

Vanilla Extract

Enhances the sweetness and gives that classic French toast aroma.

Butter

Used for frying, gives a golden, crisp texture.

Cinnamon (Optional)

Adds warmth and depth to the custard and sugar coating.

Step-by-Step Cooking Guide

1. Make the Filling

Mix softened cream cheese with a little sugar and vanilla until smooth. Gently fold in mashed raspberries.

2. Assemble the Bites

Trim the crusts from the bread slices. Spread the filling on one side, roll them up tightly, and seal the edges with gentle pressure.

3. Prepare the Custard

Whisk eggs, milk, and a pinch of cinnamon in a shallow bowl.

4. Dip and Cook

Dip each roll briefly in the custard, coating evenly but not soaking. Heat butter in a skillet over medium heat and cook the rolls until golden on all sides, about 2–3 minutes per side.

5. Coat and Serve

Roll the warm bites in cinnamon sugar, then drizzle with maple syrup or dust with powdered sugar. Serve with extra raspberries and a little whipped cream for an indulgent finish.

Tips, Variations & Add-Ons

• Make it fruity: Swap raspberries for strawberries, blueberries, or mixed berries.
• Add crunch: Toss the finished bites in crushed graham crackers or toasted coconut.
• Stuff creatively: Add mini chocolate chips or a spoon of raspberry jam to the filling.
• Air fryer version: Cook at 370°F for 5–6 minutes, turning halfway through.
• Make ahead: Assemble and refrigerate overnight, then cook in the morning.

Serving Suggestions

Pair these sweet bites with your favorite cozy sides:

• Creamy Cheddar Potato Chowder for a savory-sweet brunch combo
• High-Protein Yogurt Bowl for a balanced pairing
• Homemade Sandwich Bread to soak up leftover raspberry glaze
• Easy and Flavorful Chicken Quesadilla for a full breakfast spread

Storage & Reheating

• Refrigerate: Store cooked bites in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
• Freeze: Place in a single layer on a tray to freeze, then store in a bag for up to 2 months.
• Reheat: Toast or air fry for a crisp finish. Avoid microwaving to keep them from getting soggy.
