0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
08 -
0.5 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
→ For Cooking
09 -
2 to 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, for frying
# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Remove the crusts from each bread slice and gently flatten using a rolling pin to create an even, thin surface.
02 -
Mix melted butter, light brown sugar, and ground cinnamon in a bowl until a smooth, spreadable paste forms.
03 -
Spread the cinnamon mixture evenly over each bread slice, leaving a small margin at the edges. Roll each slice tightly, pressing gently to seal.
04 -
In a shallow bowl, whisk together eggs, whole milk, ground cinnamon, and pure vanilla extract until fully combined.
05 -
Dip each rolled slice into the egg mixture, ensuring all sides are coated.
06 -
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and melt some unsalted butter. Place roll-ups seam-side down in the skillet and cook, rotating gently, until all sides are golden and crisp.
07 -
Serve the roll-ups warm, optionally dusted with powdered sugar or accompanied by fresh berries and maple syrup.
# Extra Tips:
01 -
Soft sandwich bread is preferred for rolling to prevent cracking and achieve a tender result.
02 -
To avoid leaking, flatten bread well and do not overfill. Seal and start frying seam side down.
03 -
Leftover roll-ups can be refrigerated for up to three days and are best reheated in a skillet or oven for a crisp finish.
04 -
For a different filling, consider cream cheese, fruit preserves, or Nutella.
05 -
Assemble the roll-ups the night before and refrigerate, or freeze for up to a month for easy meal prep.
