Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 8 slices soft white bread
- 2 tbsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp butter (for frying)
Optional Toppings
- Maple syrup
- Powdered sugar
- Whipped cream
Instructions
- Prepare your workstation: Gather all ingredients and necessary kitchen tools to streamline the cooking process.
- Mix cinnamon sugar blend: In a small bowl, combine the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon thoroughly.
- Prepare the bread: Flatten each slice of bread using a rolling pin to make it thin and pliable. Spread softened butter on one side of each slice, then sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the buttered side.
- Roll the bread: Roll each slice of bread tightly into a cylinder shape, ensuring the cinnamon sugar stays inside.
- Whisk egg mixture: In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, and vanilla extract until fully combined and smooth.
- Cook the roll-ups: Heat butter in a skillet over medium heat. Dip each bread roll-up into the egg mixture, coating it well, then fry in the skillet. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until all sides are golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve: Remove the roll-ups from the skillet and serve warm. Top with optional maple syrup, powdered sugar, or whipped cream to taste.
Notes
- Use soft, fresh white bread for easier rolling and a tender texture.
- Ensure the butter is softened for even spreading on the bread slices.
- You can substitute whole milk with any milk alternative if preferred.
- Keep the heat at medium to avoid burning while ensuring the inside cooks thoroughly.
- These roll-ups are best served immediately but can be kept warm in a low oven for up to 15 minutes.
- For added flavor, consider adding a cream cheese filling inside the bread before rolling.
