Ingredients
Scale
Primary Ingredients:
- 8 slices white bread
- 2 large eggs
- ¼ cup milk
- ¼ cup cream cheese
Supporting Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons butter
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Serving:
- Maple syrup
Instructions
- Blend ¼ cup cream cheese with 2 tablespoons powdered sugar until smooth and creamy in a small mixing bowl.
- Take each white bread slice and gently press a rolling pin across the surface to flatten completely, creating a thin, even texture.
- Spread a thin layer of cream cheese mixture onto each flattened bread slice, ensuring full coverage from edge to edge.
- Roll each bread slice tightly into a compact cylinder, pressing gently to seal the edges and create a neat roll-up.
- Combine ¼ cup granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon in a shallow dish, mixing thoroughly.
- Whisk 2 large eggs with ¼ cup milk and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract in a separate shallow dish until well blended.
- Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a skillet over medium heat (375°F) until it starts to bubble and foam.
- Dunk each roll-up into the egg mixture, rotating to coat all surfaces completely and allowing excess to drip off.
- Place roll-ups in the hot skillet, cooking for 2-3 minutes per side until they turn golden brown and crispy.
- Immediately transfer each cooked roll-up to the cinnamon sugar mixture, rolling to coat every surface evenly.
- Transfer the cinnamon-coated roll-ups to a serving plate and accompany with warm maple syrup for dipping.
Notes
- Flatten bread slices completely with a rolling pin to ensure super-smooth, tight rolls that won’t unravel during cooking.
- Work quickly when coating roll-ups in egg mixture to prevent bread from getting soggy and falling apart.
- Use day-old bread for best results, as slightly stale bread holds its shape better and absorbs egg mixture more evenly.
- For a gluten-free version, swap regular bread with gluten-free white bread and ensure all other ingredients are gluten-free certified.
