Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 12 toast bread slices
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 stick (113 grams) butter, softened
- 3 tablespoons milk
Sweeteners and Spices:
- 1/4 cup light brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 3 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon (or to taste)
- powdered sugar (optional)
Cooking Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons butter (for cooking, more if necessary)
Instructions
- Create a silky cinnamon filling by thoroughly blending softened butter, light brown sugar, and ground cinnamon in a small mixing bowl until completely smooth.
- Prepare a separate bowl with granulated sugar and cinnamon, mixing well to create an even coating for the roll-ups.
- Whisk eggs and milk together in a shallow dish until fully incorporated, creating a uniform egg wash for dipping.
- Trim the crusts from bread slices and carefully flatten each piece using a rolling pin to approximately 1/8 inch thickness.
- Spread the prepared cinnamon filling evenly across each flattened bread slice, ensuring complete coverage to the edges.
- Tightly roll each bread slice into a compact log, pressing gently to seal the filling inside.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium temperature, melting butter to coat the cooking surface completely.
- Carefully dip each rolled bread log into the egg mixture, ensuring full and even coating.
- Place rolls seam-side down in the heated pan, cooking 3-4 at a time until golden brown, rotating carefully to achieve an even, crisp exterior.
- Once thoroughly cooked and golden, immediately roll each toast log in the prepared cinnamon-sugar mixture or dust with powdered sugar.
- Transfer to a serving plate and present warm, optionally accompanying with maple syrup for an extra indulgent touch.
Notes
- Choose soft, white bread for the best texture and easier rolling, ensuring a smooth and tight wrap around the filling.
- Trim crusts carefully to create uniform, thin bread sheets that roll easily without cracking or breaking.
- Make these roll-ups gluten-free by using gluten-free bread or low-carb by substituting with almond flour tortillas for a diet-friendly version.
