Description
Delightful roll-ups filled with cream cheese or Nutella, coated in cinnamon sugar, perfect for breakfast or brunch.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 slices white sandwich bread, crusts removed
- 4 tablespoons cream cheese, softened (alternatively, Nutella or fruit jam)
- 2 large eggs
- 3 tablespoons milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter for frying
Instructions
- Gently flatten each slice of bread using a rolling pin until thin.
- Spread approximately half a tablespoon of cream cheese, Nutella, or your chosen filling along one edge of each slice, then tightly roll the bread slice towards the opposite edge.
- In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined.
- Mix granulated sugar and ground cinnamon in a separate bowl. Melt one tablespoon of butter in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
- Dip each roll-up quickly in the egg mixture, ensuring it is fully coated on all sides. Place the roll-ups seam-side down in the skillet.
- Cook in batches, turning every one to two minutes until evenly golden brown, adding more butter as necessary. Roll the hot roll-ups in the cinnamon-sugar mixture to coat fully.
- Serve warm with maple syrup or powdered sugar.
Notes
Use slightly stale bread for easier rolling. Experiment with different fillings and egg mixture seasonings.
