Ingredients
- 🍞 6 slices of white bread (or cinnamon swirl bread for extra flavor)
- 🧈 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- 🧃 1/4 cup milk
- 🥚 2 large eggs
- 🍬 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 🍩 1 tbsp ground cinnamon
- 🍯 1/4 cup maple syrup (for serving)
Instructions
1️⃣ Prepare the Bread:
- Remove the crusts from the bread slices to create soft, square pieces. (Save the crusts to make breadcrumbs later!)
- Use a rolling pin to gently flatten each slice for easy rolling.
2️⃣ Make the Cinnamon Sugar:
- Mix granulated sugar and ground cinnamon in a shallow bowl. Set aside.
3️⃣ Prepare the French Toast Batter:
- Whisk together eggs and milk in a separate bowl until smooth. This forms your dipping mixture.
4️⃣ Assemble the Roll-Ups:
- Spread a thin layer of melted butter on each bread slice.
- Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture evenly on top.
- Roll up each bread slice tightly like a cinnamon roll.
5️⃣ Dip and Cook the Roll-Ups:
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a little butter.
- Dip each roll-up into the egg and milk batter, ensuring full coverage.
- Cook the roll-ups for 2-3 minutes per side or until golden brown and crispy.
6️⃣ Serve and Enjoy:
- Roll the cooked roll-ups in the remaining cinnamon sugar mixture for a sweet crunch.
- Drizzle with warm maple syrup and serve immediately for the ultimate breakfast treat!
Notes
- Bread Choice: Use cinnamon swirl bread for extra flavor or stick with white bread. Flatten the slices with a rolling pin to make them easier to roll up.
- Cooking Tip: Make sure the skillet is at medium heat and use a non-stick surface to avoid burning while ensuring the roll-ups cook evenly to a golden brown.
