Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 8 slices bread
- 2 eggs
- ¼ cup (60 ml) milk
Supporting Ingredients:
- 4 tablespoons cream cheese
- 4 tablespoons cinnamon sugar
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
Finishing Ingredients:
- Additional cinnamon sugar
Instructions
- Gently press the rolling pin across each bread slice until completely flattened, creating a thin, even surface for your roll-ups.
- Spread ½ tablespoon cream cheese evenly onto each bread slice, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Sprinkle ½ teaspoon cinnamon sugar over the cream cheese layer, covering the entire surface.
- Tightly roll each slice from one end to the other, ensuring a compact and secure roll.
- Whisk 2 eggs and ¼ cup milk in a shallow bowl until thoroughly combined and smooth.
- Dunk each rolled bread piece into the egg mixture, rotating to coat all sides completely.
- Warm a non-stick skillet over medium heat (325°F) and add 1 tablespoon melted butter.
- Place roll-ups seam-side down in the skillet, cooking for 2 minutes until the bottom turns golden brown.
- Rotate roll-ups every 45-60 seconds to ensure even browning on all sides, cooking for 3-4 minutes total.
- Transfer cooked roll-ups to a plate and brush with remaining 1 tablespoon melted butter.
- Roll each buttered roll-up in additional cinnamon sugar, coating them completely.
- Serve immediately while warm, accompanied by maple syrup or fresh berries.
Notes
- Use day-old bread for better rolling and less moisture, which helps prevent soggy roll-ups.
- Press bread gently with rolling pin to create a thin, even surface that wraps smoothly around cream cheese.
- For a gluten-free version, swap regular bread with gluten-free white or brioche bread that holds shape well.
- When dipping roll-ups in egg mixture, let excess drip off to prevent soggy edges and ensure crisp, golden exterior.
