Ingredients (for the Roll-Ups):
- 6 slices of sandwich bread (white or whole wheat, crusts removed)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
For the French Toast Coating:
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk (you can use any kind you prefer)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Directions:
- Prepare the Bread:
- Lay the slices of bread on a flat surface and use a rolling pin to gently flatten each slice. This helps with rolling them up.
- Cinnamon Sugar Mix:
- In a small bowl, combine the granulated sugar and cinnamon. Mix well and set aside.
- Spread Butter:
- Spread a thin layer of softened butter over one side of each slice of flattened bread.
- Cinnamon Sugar Coating:
- Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the buttered side of each slice.
- Roll Up the Bread:
- Carefully roll each slice of bread into a tight cylinder, starting from one edge.
- Prepare the Egg Mixture:
- In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
- Coat the Roll-Ups:
- Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a bit of butter or oil to prevent sticking.
- Dip each cinnamon roll-up into the egg mixture, making sure it’s fully coated, then place it on the skillet.
- Cook:
- Cook each roll-up for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Make sure to turn them gently to avoid unrolling.
- Serve:
- Once cooked, remove the roll-ups from the pan and place them on a plate. You can sprinkle more cinnamon sugar on top or drizzle with maple syrup for an extra touch.
