Ingredients
Scale
Bread
- 10 slices white sandwich bread
Filling
- 3 tablespoons butter (melted)
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
Egg Mixture
- 3 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon milk
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare Bread: Remove the crusts from each slice of bread and use a rolling pin to flatten them out. This helps create an even surface to spread the filling and makes rolling easier.
- Make Filling and Spread: In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon. Spread this mixture evenly over each flattened slice of bread.
- Roll Up Bread: Tightly roll up each slice with the cinnamon sugar filling inside. Press the edges gently to seal the rolls, preventing the filling from leaking out during cooking.
- Prepare Egg Mixture: In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
- Cook Roll-Ups: Heat a skillet over medium heat and add butter. Dip each roll-up in the egg mixture, coating all sides, then place them seam-side down in the skillet.
- Pan-Fry to Golden Brown: Cook the roll-ups for about 2-3 minutes, turning to ensure all sides are golden brown and cooked through. Remove from skillet and serve warm.
Notes
- Use fresh white bread for the best texture and ease of rolling.
- Make sure to seal the edges well to avoid the filling oozing out while cooking.
- Serve with maple syrup or dust with powdered sugar for extra sweetness.
- Can be made ahead and reheated in a skillet or oven before serving.
- For a dairy-free option, substitute butter with coconut oil and milk with almond milk.
