Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 8 slices white bread
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) milk
- 2 ounces (57 g) cream cheese
- 1/2 cup (100 g) granulated sugar
Spice and Flavoring Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Cooking and Preparation Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons butter
Instructions
- Whip cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract into a silky, uniform filling.
- Gently press each bread slice flat using a rolling pin, creating a thin, uniform surface.
- Generously spread the prepared cream cheese mixture across each bread slice, ensuring complete coverage.
- Carefully roll each slice into a tight, compact cylinder, securing the filling inside.
- Combine ground cinnamon and granulated sugar in a separate shallow dish for coating.
- Thoroughly whisk eggs and milk in a wide bowl, creating a smooth dipping mixture.
- Submerge each rolled bread completely in the egg mixture, allowing excess to drip off.
- Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat (around 350°F), creating a golden cooking surface.
- Fry each roll-up for 2-3 minutes, rotating to achieve an even, golden-brown exterior on all sides.
- Immediately transfer hot roll-ups to the cinnamon-sugar mixture, rotating to coat completely.
- Place on a serving plate, allowing the warm rolls to rest briefly before serving.
Notes
- Use room temperature cream cheese for a smoother, easier-to-spread mixture that blends seamlessly.
- Choose soft, fresh white bread with thin, flexible slices to ensure easy rolling without cracking.
- Press roll-ups gently into egg mixture to prevent soaking, which can make them soggy and fall apart during cooking.
- Swap regular bread for gluten-free options and use dairy-free cream cheese for a lighter, allergy-friendly version of this sweet breakfast treat.
