Description

Magical cinnamon roll french toast roll-ups blend classic breakfast favorites into one irresistible morning treat. Delicate pastry layers combine sweet cinnamon spice with creamy texture, offering a delightful twist you’ll crave again and again.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 8 slices white bread, crusts removed
  • 4 tbsp butter, softened
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Gently compress each bread slice using a rolling pin to create a uniform, thin surface.
  2. Apply a delicate layer of softened butter across the entire bread slice.
  3. Combine ground cinnamon and granulated sugar in a small mixing container, then generously dust the buttered bread surface.
  4. Carefully roll each slice into a compact cylinder, ensuring a tight and secure configuration.
  5. Prepare an egg mixture by vigorously whisking eggs, milk, and aromatic vanilla extract in a wide, shallow container.
  6. Warm a skillet over medium heat and melt butter to create a smooth cooking surface.
  7. Thoroughly immerse each rolled bread cylinder into the egg mixture, ensuring complete and even coating on all exterior surfaces.
  8. Transfer the egg-coated rolls to the heated skillet, rotating periodically to achieve a uniform golden-brown exterior, approximately 2-3 minutes total cooking time.
  9. Present the crispy rolls immediately while warm, elegantly dusted with powdered sugar or drizzled with sweet glaze for enhanced flavor and visual appeal.

Notes

  • Use day-old bread for better rolling and less moisture, preventing soggy texture.
  • Softly press bread when rolling to avoid tearing and ensure tight, compact rolls.
  • Try whole wheat or gluten-free bread for dietary alternatives and diverse nutrition.
  • Reduce sugar content by using alternatives like stevia or monk fruit sweetener for a lower-calorie version.
