Ingredients
- Bread: 6 slices of white bread, crusts removed
- Cinnamon Sugar Mixture: 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- Egg Mixture: 2 large eggs, 1/4 cup milk, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Butter: 2 tablespoons unsalted butter for frying
- Optional Toppings: Cream cheese frosting, maple syrup, powdered sugar
Instructions
- In a small bowl, mix the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon to create the cinnamon sugar mixture.
- Flatten each slice of bread with a rolling pin to make it pliable.
- Spread a thin layer of the cinnamon sugar mixture on each slice of bread.
- Roll each slice tightly from one end to the other, securing the filling inside.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter.
- Dip each roll-up in the egg mixture, ensuring all sides are coated, then place in the skillet seam-side down.
- Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy.
