Frequently Asked Questions

→ What type of bread works best?
Fresh white sandwich bread works best because it's soft and rolls easily. Just make sure to remove the crusts first.
→ Can I make these ahead?
Yes! Make them and freeze for up to a month. Reheat in the microwave or toaster oven until warm.
→ Why are my roll-ups unraveling?
Make sure to roll them tightly and press the edges gently to seal. Don't soak them too long in the egg mixture.
→ Can I add other fillings?
Try adding cream cheese, nutella, or apple butter along with the cinnamon sugar for different flavors.
→ What can I serve with these?
Serve with maple syrup, whipped cream, fresh berries, or a dusting of powdered sugar.

Ingredients

→ For the Roll-Ups

01 10 slices white sandwich bread, crusts removed
02 3 tablespoons butter, melted
03 3 tablespoons brown sugar
04 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon

→ For the French Toast Coating

05 3 large eggs
06 1 tablespoon milk
07 ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
08 ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

→ For Cooking

09 2-3 tablespoons butter for frying

Instructions

Step 01

Cut off those bread crusts and give each slice a good roll with your rolling pin to flatten it out nicely.

Step 02

Mix together your melted butter, brown sugar, and 2 tablespoons cinnamon in a small bowl until well combined.

Step 03

Spread some of that yummy cinnamon mixture on each flattened bread slice, leaving a little space at the edges. Roll each slice up tight and give the edges a gentle press to seal.

Step 04

In a shallow bowl, whisk up your eggs, milk, remaining cinnamon, and vanilla until well mixed.

Step 05

Get your skillet warm over medium heat with some butter. Dip each roll in the egg mix, then cook them in the skillet, turning until they're golden brown all over - about 2-3 minutes total.

Notes

  1. Fresh, soft bread works best for easy rolling
  2. Don't soak the rolls too long in the egg mixture
