Ingredients
– 6 slices of white bread (or any bread of your choice)
– 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
– 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
– 2 large eggs
– 1/4 cup milk
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 3 tablespoons unsalted butter (for frying)
– Maple syrup (for serving, optional)
– Powdered sugar (for dusting, optional)
Instructions
Follow these simple steps to create your Cinnamon Roll French Toast Roll-Ups:
1. Prepare the Bread: Begin by trimming the crusts off each slice of bread. This will make rolling easier.
2. Flatten the Bread: Use a rolling pin to gently flatten each slice of bread until they are about 1/4 inch thick.
3. Make the Filling: In a small bowl, combine the ground cinnamon and sugar. Spread about 1 tablespoon of the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly on each flattened bread slice.
4. Roll the Bread: Starting from one edge, tightly roll each bread slice into a log. Set aside.
5. Prepare the Egg Mixture: In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and vanilla extract until well combined.
6. Heat the Pan: In a large skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat.
7. Dip the Rolls: Dip each rolled-up bread in the egg mixture, ensuring it is well-coated but not saturated.
8. Cook the Rolls: Place the coated rolls seam-side down in the skillet. Fry for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown, then carefully roll to cook all sides.
9. Add More Butter: As needed, add more butter to the skillet for frying additional batches.
10. Serve: Once golden and crispy, remove the roll-ups from the skillet. Dust with powdered sugar and serve warm with maple syrup.
With these simple steps, you can make an amazing breakfast that tastes like a sweet indulgence but is uncomplicated enough for everyday enjoyment.
