Ingredients

(Makes 8 Roll-Ups):

 

For the Roll-Ups:

• 8 slices of white or brioche bread, crusts removed

• 4 oz cream cheese, softened

• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar

• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

• 1/4 cup brown sugar

 

For the French Toast Coating:

• 2 large eggs

• 1/4 cup milk

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Cinnamon Sugar Topping:

• 1/4 cup granulated sugar

• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

 

Instructions

 

1. Prepare the Filling:

• In a bowl, mix the cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and brown sugar until smooth and creamy.

2. Prepare the Bread:

• Flatten each bread slice with a rolling pin. Spread a thin layer of the filling onto each slice and roll them up tightly.

3. Make the French Toast Coating:

• In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and vanilla extract.

4. Cook the Roll-Ups:

• Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and melt a bit of butter. Dip each roll-up into the egg mixture, ensuring all sides are coated, then place in the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.

5. Add the Cinnamon Sugar Topping:

• In a shallow dish, mix the sugar and cinnamon. While the roll-ups are still warm, brush them lightly with melted butter and roll them in the cinnamon sugar mixture until fully coated.

6. Serve:

• Serve warm with maple syrup, whipped cream, or a drizzle of cream cheese glaze for an extra indulgent touch.

These roll-ups are like portable cinnamon rolls with a French toast twist. Who wouldn’t love starting their day with these?
