Easy to make and loaded with sweet, buttery flavor, these breakfast treats are perfect for weekends or special mornings when you want something extra indulgent.

  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 10 roll-ups

Ingredients

For the Roll-Ups:

  • 10 slices white sandwich bread
  • 3 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 3 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon

For the French Toast Coating:

  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon milk
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

For Cooking:

  • 2–3 tablespoons butter, for frying

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Bread: Remove the crusts from all slices of white sandwich bread. Using a rolling pin, flatten each slice completely, making it easier to roll and fill.
  2. Make the Cinnamon Filling: In a small bowl, stir together the melted butter, brown sugar, and 2 tablespoons of ground cinnamon until well combined.
  3. Fill and Roll: Spread an even layer of the cinnamon-butter mixture over each flattened bread slice, leaving a small border around the edges. Tightly roll up each slice from one end to the other, using gentle pressure to seal the edge.
  4. Mix French Toast Coating: In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon, and vanilla extract until fully blended.
  5. Preheat Skillet: Place a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 2-3 tablespoons of butter to melt and coat the pan.
  6. Coat the Roll-Ups: Dip each rolled bread piece quickly into the egg mixture, ensuring all sides are covered but not becoming soggy.
  7. Cook the Roll-Ups: Place each roll-up seam-side down in the hot skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes in total, turning every minute or so to brown all sides evenly until golden and cooked through.
  8. Serve: Serve the roll-ups warm, optionally dusted with powdered sugar, drizzled with icing, or with your favorite syrup.

Notes

  • Use fresh, soft bread for best results; it flattens and rolls without cracking.
  • Don’t oversoak the roll-ups in the egg mixture to prevent sogginess.
  • Maintain medium heat while cooking to avoid burning the coating.
  • Roll-ups can be made ahead, stored in the fridge, and reheated in the skillet or oven.
  • They freeze well for up to 1 month; reheat from frozen in the oven.
