Cinnamon Roll French Toast Roll-Ups are a sweet and indulgent breakfast treat, combining the flavor of cinnamon rolls with the texture of French toast. Easy to make and perfect for brunch or a special breakfast.

Ingredients

  • Sliced White Bread: Soft and easy to roll, forming the base of the roll-ups.
  • Eggs: Provide structure and the classic French toast texture.
  • Milk: Adds creaminess to the egg mixture.
  • Cream Cheese: Tangy and creamy, pairing well with cinnamon.
  • Cinnamon and Sugar: The essential sweet and spicy combo that defines the flavor.
  • Butter: Ensures a golden, crispy exterior while adding richness.
  • Powdered Sugar: Lightly dusted on top for a touch of sweetness.

Instructions

  1. Trim the crusts from the bread slices and flatten each with a rolling pin.
  2. Spread a thin layer of cream cheese on each slice.
  3. Sprinkle cinnamon and sugar over the cream cheese.
  4. Roll up each slice tightly, sealing the edges.
  5. In a bowl, whisk eggs, milk, and cinnamon.
  6. Dip each roll-up in the egg mixture, coating evenly.
  7. Melt butter in a skillet and place the roll-ups seam-side down.
  8. Cook until golden brown on all sides, rotating to ensure even cooking.
  9. Remove from skillet, let cool slightly, and dust with powdered sugar.
  10. Serve with maple syrup, fruit compote, or a drizzle of cream cheese glaze.

Notes

  • Use soft, fresh bread for easy rolling and a tender texture.
  • Flatten the bread thoroughly to keep it from unrolling during cooking.
  • Let roll-ups cool slightly before dusting with powdered sugar to prevent melting.
