Description
Cinnamon Roll French Toast Roll-Ups are a delightful breakfast treat that combines the flavors of cinnamon rolls and French toast into a fun, rolled-up format.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 8 slices of bread (white or whole wheat)
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for filling)
- Maple syrup (for serving)
Instructions
- In a small bowl, mix together the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon. Set aside.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until well combined.
- Trim the crusts off each slice of bread and gently flatten the slices with a rolling pin.
- In another bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until smooth.
- Spread about 1 tablespoon of the cream cheese mixture onto each slice of flattened bread. Roll each slice tightly from one end to the other.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat and melt 1 tablespoon of butter.
- Dip each rolled-up bread slice into the egg mixture, ensuring it is well coated.
- Place the coated roll-ups seam side down in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.
- Once cooked, roll each French toast roll-up in the cinnamon sugar mixture until fully coated.
- Serve warm with maple syrup drizzled on top.
Notes
- For added flavor, consider adding a pinch of nutmeg or a splash of almond extract to the egg mixture.
- You can substitute the cream cheese filling with Nutella or peanut butter for a different twist.
