Ingredients
For the Roll-Ups
-
10 slices white sandwich bread
-
3 tablespoons butter, melted
-
3 tablespoons brown sugar
-
2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
For the French Toast Coating
-
3 large eggs
-
1 tablespoon milk
-
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
-
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
For Cooking
-
2–3 tablespoons butter, for frying
Instructions
-
Prepare the Bread
Remove the crusts from the bread slices. Using a rolling pin, flatten each slice until thin and pliable. -
Make the Cinnamon Filling
In a small bowl, mix melted butter, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon until well combined. -
Fill and Roll
Spread the cinnamon mixture evenly over each slice, leaving a small border around the edges. Roll each slice up tightly and gently press the seam to seal. -
Prepare the Egg Mixture
In a shallow bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, cinnamon, and vanilla extract. -
Cook the Roll-Ups
Heat a skillet over medium heat and add butter. Dip each roll-up into the egg mixture (do not oversoak), then place seam-side down in the skillet. -
Brown All Sides
Cook for 2–3 minutes total, turning gently to brown all sides evenly until golden and cooked through. -
Serve Warm
Serve immediately with maple syrup, powdered sugar, or a drizzle of icing.
Notes
-
Use soft, fresh bread for easy rolling
-
Don’t oversoak the roll-ups in egg mixture
-
Keep heat at medium to avoid burning the cinnamon sugar
-
Seal seams well to prevent filling from leaking
-
Serve immediately for best texture
