Can I make this recipe ahead of time?

Yes. I often prep rolls the night before and keep them covered in the fridge. Finish frying in the morning for the best texture.

Can I use whole wheat or gluten-free bread?

You can. Flatten the slices gently and let them relax a minute before rolling. Watch the cooking time; some breads brown faster.

What are good toppings?

Fresh berries, maple syrup, a dusting of powdered sugar, or a dollop of yogurt work well. For a grown-up twist, a little honey and lemon zest are lovely.

Are these freezer-friendly?

Yes. Flash-freeze on a tray, then store in freezer bags for up to one month. Reheat in a skillet after thawing in the fridge.

How do I avoid soggy roll-ups?

Fry on medium heat and make sure the egg wash is not too heavy. A quick sear seals the outside and keeps the filling creamy inside.
