Description

Delightful Cinnamon Roll French Toast Roll-Ups combine the comforting flavors of cinnamon rolls with the classic breakfast favorite, French toast. Soft bread slices are filled with a creamy cinnamon-sugar mixture, rolled, dipped in a sweet egg batter, and pan-fried to golden perfection. These roll-ups are coated with cinnamon sugar for an extra burst of flavor, making them a fun and easy breakfast treat.


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

  1. Flatten Bread: Use a rolling pin to flatten each slice of bread to make it easier to roll without tearing.
  2. Prepare Cream Cheese Mixture: In a bowl, blend the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  3. 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.
  4. Mix Egg Batter: In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and vanilla extract until fully combined.
  5. Prepare Cinnamon Sugar: Combine the ground cinnamon and granulated sugar in another dish for the coating.
  6. Heat Skillet: Place a skillet over medium heat and add butter to melt and coat the bottom.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
