These French Toast Roll-ups are wonderful to make ahead for holiday company. They can be kept frozen for two months. I've experimented with this basic recipe by using flavored cream cheese as pumpkin and rolled them in pumpkin pie spice instead of plain cinnamon. Add nuts, blueberries, strawberries for variety.
