Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 8 slices bread
- 4 ounces (113 grams) cream cheese
- 2 large eggs
- ⅓ cup (80 milliliters) milk
Supporting Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
- ¼ cup (50 grams) granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Cooking/Serving Ingredients:
- Butter or oil
- Maple syrup or powdered sugar
Instructions
- Remove crusts from 8 bread slices. Roll each slice flat with a rolling pin until extremely thin and flexible.
- Blend 4 oz softened cream cheese, 2 tbsp powdered sugar, and ½ teaspoon cinnamon until your mixture becomes silky smooth.
- Spread 1 teaspoon cream cheese mixture across each bread slice, covering the entire surface carefully.
- Roll each slice tightly from one edge into a compact log shape, ensuring filling stays tucked inside.
- Combine ¼ cup granulated sugar with remaining ½ teaspoon cinnamon in a separate shallow dish.
- Whisk 2 large eggs, ⅓ cup milk, and 1 tsp vanilla extract in a medium bowl until thoroughly combined.
- Warm a non-stick skillet to medium heat (325°F). Add 1 tablespoon butter or oil to prevent sticking.
- Dunk each bread roll into egg mixture, coating all surfaces completely. Rotate frequently to ensure even absorption.
- Transfer rolls to heated skillet. Cook 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy edges form.
- Immediately roll hot rolls in cinnamon-sugar mixture after removing from skillet, ensuring complete coverage.
- Plate your rolls and garnish with maple syrup or dust with additional powdered sugar before serving.
Notes
- Softening the cream cheese helps it spread smoothly inside the roll-ups without tearing the bread.
- Room temperature ingredients blend more easily and create a more consistent filling texture.
- Stale or day-old bread works best for rolling, as it holds its shape without falling apart during preparation.
- Serve these immediately after cooking to keep the exterior crisp and the filling warm and gooey.
