A delightful twist on classic French toast, Cinnamon Roll French Toast Roll-Ups combine creamy cinnamon-spiced filling wrapped inside golden, egg-coated bread rolls. Perfect for a cozy breakfast or brunch, these roll-ups offer the comforting flavors of cinnamon rolls with the simplicity of French toast.

Ingredients

For the Roll-Ups:

  • 8 slices of bread
  • ½ cup cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup powdered sugar

For the Coating:

  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar

For the Egg Mixture:

  • 2 large eggs
  • ¼ cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Other:

  • Butter, for cooking

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Bread: Flatten each slice of bread using a rolling pin to make rolling easier and prevent cracking during the rolling process.
  2. Make the Filling: In a bowl, mix the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth and creamy, creating a sweet filling.
  3. Fill and Roll: Spread a thin layer of the cream cheese mixture evenly over each flattened slice of bread. Then, tightly roll each slice from one end to the other, forming compact roll-ups.
  4. Mix Egg Batter: In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and vanilla extract until fully combined to create the dipping mixture.
  5. Combine Cinnamon Sugar: In another dish, mix the ground cinnamon and granulated sugar to make the coating that will add a sweet and spicy finish.
  6. Cook the Roll-Ups: Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a small amount of butter to coat the surface. Dip each roll-up into the egg mixture, ensuring it’s completely coated. Place the roll-ups in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.
  7. Coat with Cinnamon Sugar: Remove the roll-ups from the skillet and immediately roll them in the cinnamon-sugar mixture to coat evenly. Serve warm for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Use white sandwich bread for best results; crusts can be removed for easier rolling.
  • Ensure cream cheese is fully softened to spread smoothly without tearing the bread.
  • Butter can be substituted with cooking spray for a lighter version.
  • Serve with maple syrup or fresh fruit for added sweetness and freshness.
