Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 8 slices white bread
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
Filling Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons butter, softened
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
Coating and Cooking Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon butter (for cooking)
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Gently press each bread slice flat using a rolling pin, creating a thin, uniform surface.
- Combine brown sugar, cinnamon, and softened butter into a smooth, fragrant spread, then generously coat each bread slice.
- Carefully roll each slice into a tight, compact cylinder, ensuring the filling is evenly distributed.
- Whisk eggs, milk, and vanilla extract in a shallow dish until thoroughly blended.
- Preheat a skillet over medium heat (around 350°F) and melt butter to create a golden cooking surface.
- Immerse each roll-up completely in the egg mixture, ensuring full coverage on all sides.
- Place roll-ups in the heated skillet, rotating every 2-3 minutes until achieving a rich, golden-brown exterior.
- Create a sweet coating by mixing granulated sugar and cinnamon, then immediately roll warm roll-ups to thoroughly coat.
- Transfer to serving plates and drizzle with warm maple syrup for a decadent finish.
Notes
- Choose soft, fresh white bread without crusts for the best texture and easiest rolling.
- Press firmly with the rolling pin to create an even, thin bread surface that prevents cracking during rolling.
- Use medium-low heat to ensure even cooking and prevent burning, allowing the roll-ups to become golden and crispy without scorching.
- Experiment with cream cheese, Nutella, or fruit preserves as alternative fillings to add variety and personal flair to the classic recipe.
