Ingredients
Scale
For the Roll-Ups
- 8 slices of bread
- ½ cup cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup powdered sugar
For the Cinnamon Sugar Coating
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
For the Egg Batter
- 2 large eggs
- ¼ cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For Cooking
- Butter, for cooking
Instructions
- Flatten Bread: Use a rolling pin to flatten each slice of bread to make it easier to roll without tearing.
- Prepare Cream Cheese Mixture: In a bowl, blend the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Spread and Roll: Spread a thin layer of the cream cheese mixture evenly on each flattened bread slice, then roll each slice tightly into a cylinder shape.
- Mix Egg Batter: In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and vanilla extract until fully combined.
- Prepare Cinnamon Sugar: Combine the ground cinnamon and granulated sugar in another dish for the coating.
- Heat Skillet: Place a skillet over medium heat and add butter to melt and coat the bottom.
- Dip and Cook: Dip each bread roll-up into the egg batter, ensuring it is fully coated. Place it in the heated skillet and cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.
- Coat Roll-Ups: After cooking, roll each French toast roll-up in the cinnamon-sugar mixture to coat them well. Serve warm.
Notes
- For easier rolling, crustless bread works best as it prevents cracks and tears.
- Use softened cream cheese to ensure a smooth spreadable filling.
- If preferred, you can add chopped nuts or raisins to the filling for extra texture.
- Serve with maple syrup or fresh fruit on the side for added sweetness and freshness.
- Leftover roll-ups can be reheated in a skillet or microwave but are best enjoyed fresh.
