Ingredients
Scale
- For the Roll-Ups:
- 6 slices of sandwich bread (white or whole wheat, crusts removed)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- For the Egg Mixture:
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- For Cooking:
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (for frying)
- Optional Toppings:
- Powdered sugar
- Maple syrup
- Whipped cream
Instructions
- Prepare the Bread Rolls:
Flatten each slice of bread using a rolling pin to create a thin, even surface. In a small bowl, mix the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon. Spread a thin layer of softened butter over one side of each bread slice, then sprinkle with the cinnamon-sugar mixture. Roll the bread tightly into a log shape and set aside. - Make the Egg Mixture:
In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and vanilla extract until well combined. - Coat the Roll-Ups:
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Dip each bread roll into the egg mixture, ensuring it’s evenly coated but not overly soaked. - Cook the Roll-Ups:
Place the coated rolls into the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and slightly crispy. Work in batches if necessary, adding more butter to the skillet as needed. - Serve:
Transfer the cooked roll-ups to a serving plate. Dust with powdered sugar and drizzle with maple syrup for a sweet finish. Add whipped cream if desired for an extra indulgent touch.
Notes
- For an extra flavor kick, you can add a pinch of nutmeg to the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
- For a vegan option, use dairy-free butter and milk alternatives, such as almond milk.
