Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 8 slices white or whole wheat bread
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
Coating Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
Flavoring and Finishing Ingredients:
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup maple syrup (optional, for serving)
- Powdered sugar (for dusting)
Instructions
- Create a delectable cinnamon-sugar mixture by blending granulated sugar and ground cinnamon in a small mixing vessel.
- Gently press each bread slice with a rolling pin, transforming the soft texture into a malleable canvas for rolling.
- Apply a thin layer of melted butter across the flattened bread, ensuring complete coverage for optimal flavor and browning.
- Generously distribute the prepared cinnamon-sugar blend over the buttered surface, creating an even, aromatic coating.
- Carefully roll each slice into a compact, tight cylinder, sealing the sweet interior within the bread’s embrace.
- Whisk eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt in a wide, shallow dish, creating a rich, creamy egg wash.
- Warm a skillet or griddle over medium heat, allowing the surface to reach an ideal temperature for golden-brown perfection.
- Delicately immerse each rolled bread cylinder into the egg mixture, rotating to ensure complete and uniform coating.
- Transfer the egg-drenched roll-ups to the heated cooking surface, allowing them to sizzle and transform into crispy, golden treats.
- Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, rotating carefully to achieve an even, caramelized exterior with a soft, custardy interior.
- Plate the finished roll-ups and dust generously with powdered sugar for an elegant, sweet finishing touch.
- Serve immediately alongside warm maple syrup for an indulgent breakfast experience.
Notes
- Bread Selection Matters: Choose soft, fresh white bread for the best texture and easiest rolling.
- Flatten Technique: Roll bread gently to avoid tearing, creating a thin, uniform surface for filling.
- Rolling Pro Tip: Start rolling from one edge tightly to prevent filling from spilling out during cooking.
- Gluten-Free Adaptation: Swap regular bread with gluten-free bread slices for a celiac-friendly version.
