Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 6 slices sandwich bread (white or whole wheat)
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
Cinnamon Sugar Mixture:
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Butter and Flavor Enhancers:
- 4 tablespoons (1/4 cup) unsalted butter
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Optional Toppings:
- Powdered sugar
- Maple syrup
- Whipped cream
Instructions
- Prepare the bread slices by gently flattening each piece with a rolling pin, creating a uniform, thin surface. Craft a fragrant cinnamon-sugar blend by combining granulated sugar and ground cinnamon in a small container.
- Spread a delicate layer of softened butter across one side of each bread slice, then generously sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the buttered surface.
- Carefully roll each slice into a compact log, ensuring a tight and secure formation. Press gently to seal the edges.
- Whisk eggs, milk, and vanilla extract in a shallow bowl until the mixture becomes smooth and fully integrated.
- Warm a skillet over medium heat, melting butter to create a golden cooking surface.
- Delicately dip each bread roll into the egg mixture, ensuring an even coating without oversaturating the bread.
- Gently place the coated rolls into the heated skillet, cooking for 2-3 minutes per side until they transform into a crispy, golden-brown delicacy.
- If needed, cook in batches, replenishing butter in the skillet to maintain optimal cooking conditions.
- Transfer the finished roll-ups to a serving plate, creating an inviting presentation.
- Enhance the dish by dusting with a light veil of powdered sugar and drizzling with warm maple syrup. Optional: crown with a dollop of whipped cream for an extra indulgent touch.
Notes
- Choose soft, fresh white bread with minimal crust for the most tender and pliable roll-ups.
- Press the rolling pin firmly and evenly to create a thin bread surface without tearing.
- Spread softened butter edge-to-edge to ensure complete flavor and crispy caramelization during cooking.
- Don’t oversaturate the rolls; quick dip prevents soggy texture and ensures crisp exterior.
- Use medium heat to achieve golden-brown color without burning the delicate bread rolls.
- Prepare roll-ups in advance and refrigerate, then quickly pan-fry before serving for convenient entertaining.
- Swap white bread with gluten-free alternatives and use plant-based butter for vegetarian and gluten-sensitive diets.
