Ingredients
  

For the Roll-Ups:
  • 10 slices of white sandwich bread
  • 3 tablespoons melted butter
  • 3 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
For the French Toast Coating:
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
For Cooking:
  • 2 –3 tablespoons butter for frying

Method
 

Prepare the Bread:
  1. Remove the crusts from the bread slices.
  2. Flatten each slice with a rolling pin to create an even surface for rolling.
Make the Cinnamon Spread:
  1. In a small bowl, mix together the melted butter, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon.
  2. Spread a thin, even layer of the cinnamon mixture onto each slice of bread, leaving a small border around the edges.
Roll Up the Bread:
  1. Roll each slice tightly and press gently to seal the edges.
Prepare the French Toast Coating:
  1. In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, cinnamon, and vanilla extract.
Cook the Roll-Ups:
  1. Heat a skillet over medium heat and add 2–3 tablespoons of butter, allowing it to coat the skillet evenly.
  2. Dip each roll-up into the egg mixture, ensuring it’s fully coated.
  3. Place the roll-ups seam-side down in the skillet. Cook for 2–3 minutes, rotating frequently to brown all sides evenly.
Serve:
  1. Remove the roll-ups from the skillet and let them cool slightly. Serve warm with your choice of toppings or dips.

Notes

  • Use Fresh Bread: Soft, fresh bread rolls easily without breaking.
  • Avoid Overfilling: Too much filling may cause the roll-ups to leak during cooking.
  • Cook on Medium Heat: Ensures the roll-ups cook evenly without burning.
  • Customize Fillings: Add cream cheese, jam, or chocolate spread for extra flavor.
