Peach & Yogurt Bread Roll-Up Recipe – Easy Breakfast Idea

Hey everyone! If you’re anything like me, mornings can be… chaotic, right? Especially getting little ones fed and out the door. I’m always on the lookout for quick, easy, and (dare I say?) fun breakfast options. And these Peach & Yogurt Bread Roll-Ups? They’re a total lifesaver. They’re sweet, satisfying, and honestly, just a little bit special. Plus, they come together in under 20 minutes!

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

These roll-ups are perfect for busy weekday mornings, or even a relaxed weekend brunch. They’re a fantastic way to use up ripe peaches, and the combination of creamy yogurt, sweet peach, and warm, crispy bread is just divine. My kids absolutely adore them, and I love that I can sneak in a little whole grain goodness. Seriously, what’s not to love?

Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to whip up these delightful roll-ups:

• 4 whole grain bread slices
• 2 eggs
• 1/3 cup whole milk vanilla yogurt (about 80ml)
• 1 peach (chopped)
• 4 tablespoons butter (about 56g)

Ingredient Notes

Let’s talk ingredients for a sec! A few little things can make all the difference.

• Whole Grain Bread: I really prefer using whole grain bread for these. It adds a lovely nutty flavor and a bit more fiber. But honestly, any bread you like will work!
• Vanilla Yogurt: I’m a big fan of Epigamia or Mother Dairy vanilla yogurt – they have a nice, thick consistency. You can also use plain yogurt and add a teaspoon of vanilla extract.
• Peach Seasonality: Peaches are at their peak in the summer months (May-August in India). But don’t let that stop you! You can absolutely use frozen peaches (see FAQs below). Using seasonal fruit always gives the best flavour though.

Step-By-Step Instructions

Alright, let’s get cooking! It’s super simple, I promise.

1. First, gently flatten each bread slice with a rolling pin. You want them thin enough to roll easily, but not so thin they tear.
2. Spread about 1 tablespoon of vanilla yogurt evenly over one side of each flattened bread slice.
3. Sprinkle the chopped peaches generously over the yogurt-covered bread. Don’t be shy!
4. In a bowl, whisk together the eggs and remaining yogurt until well combined. This is your “glue” to seal the roll-ups.
5. Now, carefully roll each bread slice tightly, starting from one end. Dab a little of the yogurt-egg mixture on the edge to seal it closed.
6. Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Once melted and shimmering, gently place the roll-ups in the skillet.
7. Fry the roll-ups, turning occasionally, until they’re golden brown and beautifully crisp on all sides. This usually takes about 3-4 minutes per side.
8. Serve warm with extra peaches or a dollop of yogurt. Enjoy!

Expert Tips

Here are a few things I’ve learned along the way:

• Don’t overcrowd the skillet! Work in batches if necessary to ensure even cooking.
• Keep a close eye on the heat. You want a nice golden brown, not burnt!
• If the roll-ups start to unravel, gently press them back together with a spatula.

Variations

Want to switch things up? Here are a few ideas:

• Spice Level: Add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the yogurt mixture for a warmer, more comforting flavor. My grandma always added a tiny bit of cardamom!
• Festival Adaptations: These are perfect for a quick breakfast during Janmashtami or Raksha Bandhan. They’re light, sweet, and easy to make when you’re busy with celebrations.
• Gluten-Free: Use your favorite gluten-free bread slices. There are some really good options available now!
• Vegan: Substitute the yogurt with a plant-based yogurt (like coconut or almond yogurt) and the eggs with a flax egg (1 tbsp flaxseed meal + 3 tbsp water, let sit for 5 minutes).

Serving Suggestions

These Peach & Yogurt Bread Roll-Ups are delicious on their own, but here are a few ideas to make them even more special:

• Serve with a side of fresh fruit salad.
• Drizzle with a little honey or maple syrup.
• Pair with a glass of cold milk or a cup of chai.

Storage Instructions

Leftovers? (If there are any!) You can store these roll-ups in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat them in a skillet or toaster oven to restore their crispness.

FAQs

Let’s answer some common questions:

1. Can I use frozen peaches in this recipe?

Absolutely! Just thaw the frozen peaches and drain off any excess liquid before using. They might be a little softer, but they’ll still taste delicious.

2. What’s the best type of bread to use for roll-ups?

Whole grain bread is my go-to, but really, any bread you enjoy will work. White bread, multigrain bread, even brioche would be lovely!

3. How can I prevent the roll-ups from unraveling while frying?

Make sure to seal the edges well with the yogurt-egg mixture. Also, be gentle when flipping them in the skillet.

4. Can I make these roll-ups ahead of time?

You can assemble the roll-ups ahead of time and store them in the refrigerator (covered) for up to 24 hours. Fry them just before serving.

5. Is it possible to bake these instead of frying?

Yes! Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Place the roll-ups on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. They won’t be quite as crispy as fried, but still delicious!
