Cinnamon French Toast Roll-Ups are a delightful breakfast or snack that combines the flavors of cinnamon rolls and French toast into a fun, easy-to-eat treat. These roll-ups are stuffed with a sweet filling, coated in cinnamon sugar, and can be served warm with syrup. Here’s how to make them!
Ingredients
For the Roll-Ups:
- 10 slices of soft sandwich bread (white or whole wheat)
- 4 oz. cream cheese, softened
- 3 tablespoons powdered sugar (for the filling)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar (for coating)
- 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon (for coating)
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/2 cup butter, melted (for cooking)
Optional Toppings:
- Maple syrup for serving
- Powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
- Prepare the Filling:
- In a small bowl, mix the softened cream cheese with the powdered sugar until smooth and creamy.
- Prepare the Bread:
- Trim the crusts off each slice of bread. Use a rolling pin to flatten each slice to about 1/8 inch thickness.
- Fill the Bread:
- Spread a generous layer of the cream cheese mixture onto each slice of flattened bread. Roll each slice tightly from one end to the other, sealing in the filling.
- Prepare the Egg Mixture:
- In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined.
- Coat the Roll-Ups:
- In another bowl, mix together the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon for coating.
- Dip each rolled-up bread piece into the egg mixture, ensuring it is well-coated but not soaked.
- Cook the Roll-Ups:
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and melt about 1 tablespoon of butter.
- Place the roll-ups seam side down in the skillet, cooking in batches if necessary.
- Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and slightly crispy.
- Coat with Cinnamon Sugar:
- Once cooked, immediately roll each warm roll-up in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until fully coated.
- Serve:
- Serve warm with maple syrup drizzled on top or on the side for dipping. Optionally, dust with powdered sugar before serving.
