Description
Cinnamon Roll French Toast Rolls are a heavenly breakfast or brunch indulgence that will have your taste buds singing with joy. The perfect balance of cinnamon-sugar, custard-like interior, and crispy, golden exterior makes this dish a true culinary masterpiece.
Ingredients
- 8 slices white bread (remove crusts)
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoon unsalted butter (melted)
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoon unsalted butter (for frying)
- Maple syrup or powdered sugar (to serve)
Instructions
1. To begin, you’ll want to prepare the bread. Flatten each slice of white bread with a rolling pin, then brush them lightly with the melted butter. In a small bowl, mix together the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon to create a delectable cinnamon-sugar mixture. Sprinkle this mixture over the buttered bread and then tightly roll up each slice.
2. Next, whisk the eggs, milk, and vanilla extract in a shallow bowl until the mixture is smooth and well-combined. Dip each cinnamon-sugar rolled bread into the egg mixture, ensuring all sides are coated.
3. In a skillet over medium heat, melt the remaining 2 tablespoon of butter. Carefully place the coated bread rolls into the hot skillet and fry them until they’re golden brown on all sides, about 2-3 minutes per side.
4. Once the Cinnamon Roll French Toast Rolls are perfectly crispy, remove them from the heat and serve them warm, dusted with powdered sugar or drizzled with maple syrup.
Notes
To achieve the ultimate in crispy, golden-brown perfection, there are a few key tips to keep in mind. First, be sure to use slices of fresh, soft white bread – this will allow the bread to roll up tightly without cracking or breaking. Secondly, don’t be afraid to really coat the bread in the cinnamon-sugar mixture, as this will create a delightful caramelized crust when fried.
When frying the Cinnamon Roll French Toast Rolls, make sure to use a generous amount of butter in the skillet. This will help the rolls achieve that irresistible crunch on the outside while keeping the interior tender and fluffy. And be patient – don’t be tempted to flip the rolls too soon, as this can cause them to fall apart. Wait until they’re golden brown before gently turning them to ensure maximum crispiness.
