How to Make Cinnamon Roll French Toast Roll-Ups

Ingredients:

• 12 slices white bread (soft sandwich bread, brioche, or challah)
• 3 tbsp butter, softened (plus more for cooking)
• ¼ cup light brown sugar
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 2 eggs
• 3 tbsp milk
• 3 tbsp granulated sugar
• 1 tsp cinnamon (for coating)
• Powdered sugar (optional, for serving)

Directions:

1. Flatten the Bread
   Roll out each slice of bread with a rolling pin or press with your hands to flatten.

2. Make the Cinnamon Filling
   In a small bowl, mix softened butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon until combined. Spread a thin layer of the mixture onto each slice of bread.

3. Roll Them Up
   Roll each slice tightly into a log and set aside.

4. Prepare the Egg Mixture
   In a bowl, whisk together eggs and milk to make the French toast batter.

5. Dip and Cook
   Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and melt a little butter in the pan. Dip each roll-up into the egg mixture, ensuring it’s fully coated but not soggy. Place in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, turning often, until golden brown and crispy.

6. Coat in Cinnamon Sugar
   While still warm, roll the cooked roll-ups in a mix of granulated sugar and cinnamon for an extra-sweet finish.

7. Serve and Enjoy!
   Dust with powdered sugar, drizzle with maple syrup, or dip in cream cheese glaze.
