Instructions

Prep Bread: Trim the crusts off six slices of soft white bread and flatten each slice to about a quarter inch thick for easy rolling.
Fill Bread: Spread cream cheese over one side of each flattened bread slice, then add a layer of your chosen strawberry or raspberry jam.
Roll & Seal: Roll each slice tightly from one end to the other and pinch the edges carefully to seal the filling inside.
Make Custard: Whisk together eggs, milk, and sugar in a shallow bowl until smooth and well combined to create the custard mixture.
Coat Rolls: Quickly dip each roll into the custard mixture, ensuring they are fully coated on all sides.
Fry Rolls: Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Place the custard-coated rolls seam-side down in the pan and cook for 3 to 4 minutes until golden brown, turning gently to cook all sides evenly.
Add Cinnamon Sugar: Mix sugar and cinnamon in a bowl, then roll the warm cooked rolls in this cinnamon sugar mixture for a sweet, flavorful crust.
Serve: Dust with powdered sugar and serve warm. Optionally, garnish with fresh berries or drizzle with chocolate sauce for extra indulgence.

Notes

Use fresh, soft white bread for the easiest rolling and best texture.
Make sure to seal the edges tightly to prevent filling from leaking during frying.
Quickly dip the rolls in the custard to avoid sogginess but ensure full coverage.
Adjust cooking time and heat as needed to avoid burning while ensuring the rolls are cooked through.
Serve immediately for best taste and crispiness.
Feel free to substitute cream cheese with mascarpone for a creamier texture.
Jam flavors can be mixed or replaced with your favorite preserves for variety.
