🍯 Cinnamon Roll French Toast Roll-Ups 🍞
Ingredients
8 slices soft white sandwich bread, crusts removed
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
3 tablespoons granulated sugar, divided
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 large egg
2 tablespoons milk
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
Maple syrup, for serving
Instructions
Prepare the Filling: In a small bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar, and the vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and creamy.
Flatten the Bread: Using a rolling pin, firmly flatten each slice of bread to about 1/4-inch thickness.
Assemble the Roll-Ups: Spread a generous tablespoon of the cream cheese mixture along one edge of a flattened bread slice. Roll the bread up tightly around the filling, pressing gently to seal the end. Repeat with the remaining bread and filling.
Create the Coating: In a shallow dish, whisk together the egg and milk until fully combined. In a separate small bowl, mix the remaining 2 tablespoons of sugar with the ground cinnamon.
Cook the Roll-Ups: In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Dip each bread roll-up first into the egg mixture, ensuring it's coated evenly, then carefully place it in the skillet. Cook in batches for 2-3 minutes, rolling them occasionally, until golden brown on all sides.
Sugar and Serve: Immediately after removing from the skillet, roll the hot roll-ups in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until well coated. Serve warm with maple syrup for dipping.
