Instructions
Step 1: Flatten the Bread
-
Use a rolling pin or your hands to flatten each slice of bread.
Step 2: Make the Cinnamon Filling
-
In a small bowl, mix the softened butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon until fully combined.
Step 3: Spread the Filling

Spread a thin layer of the cinnamon filling onto each slice of bread.
Step 4: Roll Them Up
-
Roll each slice of bread tightly into a log and set aside.
Step 5: Prepare the Egg Mixture
-
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk to create the French toast batter.
Step 6: Cook the Roll-Ups
-
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and melt a little butter.
-
Dip each roll-up into the egg mixture, making sure it’s fully coated but not soggy.
-
Place the roll-ups in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, turning often, until golden brown and crispy.
Step 7: Coat in Cinnamon Sugar

While the roll-ups are still warm, roll them in a mixture of granulated sugar and cinnamon for a sweet finish.

Dust with powdered sugar, drizzle with maple syrup, or dip in cream cheese glaze for an extra indulgent touch.
