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.
