Ingredients
Scale
Bread and Filling
- 10 slices white sandwich bread
- 3 tablespoons butter, melted
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
Egg Mixture
- 3 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon milk
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Cooking
- Butter for skillet (approximately 1 tablespoon for cooking)
Instructions
- Prepare the bread: Remove crusts from each bread slice and flatten them using a rolling pin until thin and even.
- Make the cinnamon filling: In a small bowl, mix together melted butter, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon. Spread this mixture evenly over each flattened slice of bread.
- Roll the bread: Carefully roll up each slice tightly. Press gently along the edges to seal and keep the roll-ups closed during cooking.
- Prepare the egg mixture: In a shallow bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, additional cinnamon, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Cook the roll-ups: Heat butter in a skillet over medium heat. Dip each roll-up in the egg mixture, ensuring all sides are coated, then place seam-side down in the skillet to prevent unrolling.
- Brown the roll-ups: Cook for about 2 to 3 minutes, turning carefully to brown all sides evenly until golden brown and cooked through.
Notes
- You can use any type of white bread, but fresh sandwich bread works best for easy rolling.
- For easier rolling, slightly flatten the bread well with a rolling pin.
- Seal the edges tightly to avoid the roll-ups falling apart while cooking.
- Adjust the cinnamon and sugar quantities to your taste preference.
- Serve warm with syrup, powdered sugar, or fresh fruit for a complete breakfast.
