Cinnamon Roll French Toast Roll-Ups Recipe
Ingredients
- 8 slices of white bread, crusts removed
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (optional)
- 2 tablespoons butter, for cooking
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon (for rolling)
- Maple syrup (for serving)
Instructions
- Make the Cream Cheese Filling:
- In a small bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- Flatten the Bread:
- Use a rolling pin to flatten each slice of bread. Spread a thin layer of the cream cheese mixture on one side of each slice.
- Roll Them Up:
- Tightly roll each slice of bread with the cream cheese on the inside.
- Prepare the Egg Mixture:
- In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
- Cook the Roll-Ups:
- Heat butter in a skillet over medium heat. Dip each roll-up into the egg mixture, ensuring all sides are coated, and place it in the skillet. Cook for 2–3 minutes per side, turning until golden brown and cooked through.
- Cinnamon Sugar Coating:
- In a small bowl, mix the granulated sugar and cinnamon. Once the roll-ups are done cooking, immediately roll them in the cinnamon sugar mixture to coat.
- Serve:
- Serve the roll-ups warm with maple syrup for dipping or drizzling.
Tips for Perfect Cinnamon Roll French Toast Roll-Ups
- Use Stale Bread: Slightly stale bread works best as it holds its shape better and soaks up the egg mixture without falling apart.
- Adjust Sweetness: If you prefer less sweetness, skip rolling the roll-ups in cinnamon sugar and sprinkle them lightly instead.
- Get Creative: Swap out the cream cheese filling with Nutella, peanut butter, or fruit jam for a fun twist.
