8 slices white bread
2 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 tsp ground cinnamon
2 large eggs
1/4 cup milk
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 tbsp butter (for cooking)
Powdered sugar or maple syrup (optional, for serving)
Trim crusts off the bread slices and flatten them with a rolling pin.
Mix softened butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a small bowl.
Spread the cinnamon mixture over each slice, then roll them up tightly.
In another bowl, whisk eggs, milk, and vanilla together.
Dip each roll-up into the egg mixture, coating evenly.
Heat a skillet over medium heat with butter, and cook roll-ups until golden brown on all sides.
Serve warm with powdered sugar or maple syrup.
You can prep the cinnamon mixture in advance and refrigerate.
Great to freeze before cooking for a quick breakfast option.
Try using whole wheat or brioche bread for variety.
