Description
Enjoy Cinnamon Roll French Toast Roll-Ups—soft bread, cinnamon-sugar filling, rolled, dipped in egg, and cooked to golden perfection.
Ingredients
Scale
8 slices white sandwich bread
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
2 large eggs
1/4 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Additional butter for cooking
Powdered sugar or maple syrup for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Remove the crusts from the bread slices and flatten each slice with a rolling pin.
- In a small bowl, mix the softened butter, granulated sugar, and ground cinnamon until well combined.
- Spread a thin layer of the cinnamon-butter mixture onto each flattened bread slice.
- Roll up each bread slice tightly and set aside.
- In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Heat a tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Dip each roll-up into the egg mixture, ensuring all sides are coated, and place them seam-side down in the skillet.
- Cook the roll-ups, turning occasionally, until all sides are golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.
- Remove from the skillet and serve warm, dusted with powdered sugar or drizzled with maple syrup if desired.
Notes
- Use Stale Bread: Slightly stale bread absorbs the egg mixture better, making the roll-ups hold their shape and cook evenly.
- Add a Creamy Filling: Spread cream cheese or Nutella inside for an extra indulgent twist on this delicious treat!
