Ingredients
For the Roll-Ups:
- 8 slices white bread (or brioche for extra richness)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
For the Egg Mixture:
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
For Serving:
- Maple syrup (for drizzling)
- Powdered sugar (for dusting)
- Optional: Fresh berries or whipped cream
Instructions
1. Prepare the Bread:
- Flatten each slice of bread using a rolling pin until it’s thin and pliable. This will make it easier to roll up without tearing.
2. Make the Cinnamon-Sugar Filling:
- In a small bowl, mix together the granulated sugar and cinnamon.
- Brush each flattened slice of bread lightly with melted butter, then sprinkle a thin, even layer of the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the surface.
3. Roll the Bread:
- Starting at one end, tightly roll up each slice of bread into a spiral. Press gently to seal the edges.
4. Prepare the Egg Mixture:
- In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until smooth.
5. Cook the Roll-Ups:
- Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or cooking spray.
- Dip each rolled-up piece of bread into the egg mixture, ensuring it’s fully coated but not soggy.
- Place the roll-ups seam-side down in the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy all around.
6. Serve and Enjoy:
- Arrange the cooked roll-ups on a plate. Dust with powdered sugar and drizzle with maple syrup. Add fresh berries or a dollop of whipped cream if desired.
- Serve warm and enjoy the sweet, cinnamon-y goodness!
