Ingredients
Scale
- 8 slices thick, soft white bread
- 4 tablespoon unsalted butter, softened
- 1/4 cup light brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 8 ounce cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine softened butter, light brown sugar, and 1 tablespoon of cinnamon. Mix until smooth and creamy, creating a delectable spread for the bread slices.
- Using a sharp knife, carefully cut the crusts off all the bread slices. This will ensure that each roll-up is soft and easy to bite into.
- Flatten each slice of bread using a rolling pin until it reaches about 1/8 inch thickness. This helps to make rolling easier.
- Take a generous amount of the cinnamon butter and spread a thick layer evenly across each flattened bread slice. Starting from one end, roll the bread tightly until you reach the other end. This will form your roll-up.
- In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and vanilla extract until they are well combined. This mixture will help coat the roll-ups.
- In another bowl, combine the granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon. This mixture will give the roll-ups their signature sweet coating.
- In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until the mixture is smooth. This creamy filling will be served alongside the roll-ups.
- Take each rolled bread piece and dip it in the egg mixture, coating all sides thoroughly. This ensures that every bite is packed with flavor.
- Heat melted butter in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Fry each roll until they are golden brown on all sides, which takes about 3-4 minutes. Be sure to turn them carefully so that they cook evenly.
- Once cooked, immediately roll each warm roll in the cinnamon sugar mixture until fully coated.
- Serve your Cinnamon Sugar French Toast Roll-Ups warm, ideally alongside the creamy cream cheese filling or drizzled with maple syrup for an extra touch of sweetness!
Notes
For a healthier option, consider using whole grain bread and reducing sugar amounts in the cream cheese filling and coating.
