Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 8 slices white bread
- 2 large eggs
- ¼ cup milk
Main Flavoring Ingredients:
- 4 tablespoons cream cheese, softened
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons powdered sugar
Supporting Ingredients:
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Maple syrup or icing (for serving)
Instructions
- Remove bread crusts and flatten 8 white bread slices using a rolling pin until thin and smooth.
- Blend 4 tablespoons softened cream cheese, 3 tablespoons powdered sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon into a creamy mixture.
- Spread cream cheese mixture evenly across each flattened bread slice, covering entire surface.
- Roll each slice tightly into a compact log, pressing edges to seal filling inside.
- Whisk 2 large eggs, ¼ cup milk, and 1 tablespoon granulated sugar in a shallow bowl until completely combined.
- Submerge each bread log into egg mixture, rotating to coat all surfaces thoroughly.
- Melt 2 tablespoons unsalted butter in a large skillet over medium heat (375°F).
- Place egg-coated roll-ups into hot skillet, cooking 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.
- Mix 1 tablespoon granulated sugar with 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon in a separate small bowl.
- Immediately roll warm roll-ups in cinnamon-sugar mixture, ensuring complete coverage.
- Transfer coated roll-ups to serving plate and drizzle with maple syrup or icing.
Notes
- Softening cream cheese at room temperature helps create a smoother, easier-to-spread filling that blends perfectly.
- Trimming bread crusts and rolling slices thin ensures a delicate, uniform texture in each roll-up.
- Keeping skillet heat at medium prevents burning and allows for even, golden-brown caramelization of the roll-ups.
- Preparing the cinnamon sugar coating ahead of time speeds up the final rolling step and keeps your breakfast warm and fresh.
