Cinnamon Roll French Toast Roll-Ups Recipe: A Sweet Morning Treat

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Filling

In a small bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Set aside.

Step 2: Flatten the Bread

Using a rolling pin, flatten each slice of bread until thin. This will make rolling them easier and help them hold their shape while cooking.

Step 3: Fill and Roll

Spread a thin layer of the cream cheese mixture over each piece of flattened bread. In a separate bowl, mix the granulated sugar and cinnamon together. Sprinkle a small amount of the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the cream cheese layer.

Roll each slice of bread tightly into a log shape and set aside.

Step 4: Make the Egg Wash

In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and vanilla extract.

Step 5: Coat and Cook

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Dip each roll-up into the egg wash, ensuring it is fully coated, then place it in the pan. Cook each roll-up for about 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and slightly crispy.

Step 6: Coat in Cinnamon-Sugar

While the roll-ups are still warm, brush them lightly with melted butter and roll them in the remaining cinnamon-sugar mixture to give them that classic cinnamon roll flavor.

Step 7: Serve and Enjoy!

Serve the Cinnamon Roll French Toast Roll-Ups warm with a drizzle of maple syrup or a homemade cream cheese glaze. Sprinkle with powdered sugar for an extra touch of sweetness.

Tips for the Best Cinnamon Roll French Toast Roll-Ups

• Use fresh, soft bread: This makes rolling easier and prevents cracking.

• Don’t overfill: Too much filling can cause the roll-ups to burst while cooking.

• Cook on medium heat: Too high heat can burn the outside while leaving the inside undercooked.

• Customize the filling: Add a little nutmeg, chopped nuts, or even mini chocolate chips for a unique twist
