- 4 tbsp butter
Filling and Coating:
- 1/4 cup cream cheese, softened
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp ground cinnamon
Topping:
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
Instructions
- Trim the crusts off each slice of white bread, creating a neat rectangular shape.
- Flatten each bread slice using a rolling pin, ensuring an even, thin surface.
- Whisk eggs, milk, and vanilla extract in a shallow bowl until thoroughly combined.
- Spread softened cream cheese evenly across each flattened bread slice, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Mix granulated sugar and ground cinnamon in a separate small bowl for the filling.
- Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the cream cheese layer on each bread slice.
- Carefully roll each bread slice tightly from one end to the other, creating a compact cylindrical shape.
- Dip each rolled bread into the egg mixture, ensuring complete and even coating.
- Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat until it becomes golden and fragrant.
- Place the rolled bread pieces into the heated skillet, cooking for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.
- Remove roll-ups from the skillet and transfer to a serving plate.
- Dust the cooked roll-ups generously with powdered sugar.
- Drizzle maple syrup over the top for a final touch of sweetness.
- Serve immediately while warm and enjoy the crispy, creamy, cinnamon-infused treat.
Notes
- Bread Selection Matters: Choose soft, fresh white bread with minimal holes for the smoothest rolling and best texture.
- Cream Cheese Tip: Ensure cream cheese is at room temperature for easier spreading and more even coverage across the bread.
- Rolling Technique: Press gently but firmly when rolling to prevent filling from squeezing out and maintain a tight, compact shape.
- Temperature Control: Keep skillet heat at medium to prevent burning while achieving a golden, crispy exterior and thoroughly cooked interior.
- Serving Suggestion: These roll-ups are best enjoyed immediately after cooking to maintain their crisp texture and warm, gooey filling.
- Dietary Adaptations: Swap white bread for gluten-free bread and use dairy-free cream cheese for alternative dietary needs.
