Ingredients
Scale
Roll-Ups
- 10 slices white sandwich bread
- 3 tablespoons butter, melted
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
French Toast Coating
- 3 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon milk
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2–3 tablespoons butter for frying
Instructions
- Prepare the Bread: Remove the crusts from each slice of bread. Using a rolling pin, flatten each slice until thin but not torn, creating an even surface to spread the filling on.
- Make the Cinnamon Sugar Filling: In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, brown sugar, and 2 tablespoons of ground cinnamon. Mix well to create a sweet and fragrant spread.
- Spread the Filling: Evenly spread the cinnamon sugar mixture on each flattened bread slice, leaving a small border around the edges to prevent spilling when rolled.
- Roll the Bread: Carefully roll up each slice tightly from one end to the other, then gently press the edges to seal the roll-ups and keep the filling inside.
- Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, ½ teaspoon of cinnamon, and vanilla extract until smooth and combined.
- Heat the Skillet: Place a skillet over medium heat and add 2-3 tablespoons of butter, allowing it to melt and coat the pan evenly.
- Dip and Cook the Roll-Ups: Dip each bread roll-up into the egg mixture, coating all sides. Place them seam-side down in the heated skillet.
- Pan-Fry Until Golden: Cook the roll-ups for 2 to 3 minutes total, turning them gently to brown all sides evenly. Remove from the skillet once they are golden brown and cooked through.
Notes
- Make sure to flatten bread slices gently to avoid tearing.
- Sealing the edges well prevents filling from spilling out during cooking.
- Use medium heat to cook the roll-ups evenly without burning.
- Serve warm with syrup, powdered sugar, or your favorite topping for extra indulgence.
