Description: A tasty breakfast treat that combines the flavors of cinnamon rolls and French toast in a quick, easy-to-make roll-up.
10 slices white sandwich bread
3 tablespoons melted butter
3 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
3 large eggs
1 tablespoon milk
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
2–3 tablespoons butter (for frying)
Remove the crusts from the bread slices. Use a rolling pin to flatten each slice evenly.
In a small bowl, mix together the melted butter, brown sugar, and 2 tablespoons of cinnamon.
Spread this cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over each flattened bread slice, leaving a small border around the edges.
Roll each slice tightly and press the edges gently to seal.
In a shallow bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, ½ teaspoon cinnamon, and vanilla extract until combined.
Heat a skillet over medium heat and add butter for cooking.
Dip each roll-up into the egg mixture, coating it well, then place it seam-side down in the skillet.
Cook the roll-ups for about 2-3 minutes total, turning occasionally to brown all sides evenly.
Details:
Use soft, fresh bread for easier rolling.
Avoid soaking the bread too long in the egg mixture to prevent sogginess.
Keep the heat at medium to avoid burning.
These roll-ups can be prepared in advance and reheated before serving.
They freeze well for up to one month.
