Instructions
Remove the crusts from each slice of bread. Use a rolling pin to flatten all slices until thin and flexible.
In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, brown sugar, and 2 tablespoons of cinnamon until smooth.
Spread the cinnamon mixture evenly over each slice of bread, leaving a small border around the edges.
Roll each slice tightly and press gently along the seam so it stays closed.
In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, ½ teaspoon cinnamon, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add butter.
Dip each roll-up quickly into the egg mixture (don’t oversoak), then place seam-side down into the skillet.
Cook for 2–3 minutes total, rotating to brown all sides until golden and crisp.
Enjoy warm as-is or with powdered sugar, maple syrup, or a drizzle of icing!
