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.
