Equipment
- Skillet
- Rolling Pin
Ingredients
Filling
- 4 tbsp cream cheese softened
- 2 tbsp powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp cinnamon
Roll-Ups
- 8 slices white bread crusts removed
- 2 eggs beaten
- 1/4 cup milk
- 2 tbsp butter for frying
Cinnamon Sugar Coating
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon
Instructions
- In a small bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and cinnamon until smooth.
- Flatten each slice of bread with a rolling pin. Spread a thin layer of the filling on one side of each slice, then roll up tightly.
- In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs and milk.
- Dip each roll-up into the egg mixture, ensuring it's fully coated.
- Heat butter in a skillet over medium heat. Fry the roll-ups until golden brown on all sides, about 2-3 minutes per side.
- In a separate bowl, mix granulated sugar and cinnamon. Roll the warm roll-ups in the cinnamon sugar mixture until evenly coated.
- Serve warm and enjoy! Optionally, drizzle with maple syrup or icing.
Notes
For a richer flavor, use brioche or challah bread instead of white bread. You can also add a drizzle of cream cheese icing for an extra sweet touch.
