Ingredients
Scale
- 8 slices of soft white bread
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 tablespoon butter (for cooking)
- Optional: maple syrup or extra powdered sugar for serving
Instructions
- Trim the crusts from the bread slices and use a rolling pin to flatten each slice.
- In a bowl, mix softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Spread the cream cheese mixture over each slice of bread, then sprinkle with brown sugar and cinnamon.
- Roll each slice tightly into a log and set aside.
- In another bowl, whisk together eggs and milk to make the French toast batter.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat and add butter to coat the pan.
- Dip each roll-up into the egg mixture, ensuring it’s fully coated but not soaked.
- Place the roll-ups seam side down onto the skillet and cook, turning until all sides are golden brown and crisp, about 5-7 minutes.
- Remove from heat and serve warm with maple syrup or a dusting of powdered sugar if desired.
Notes
- If bread tears while rolling, it may be too dry—try using fresher bread next time.
- Don’t soak roll-ups too long in the egg mixture to prevent sogginess.
- You can substitute the filling with Nutella, fruit preserves, or peanut butter for variety.
- These can be cooked in an air fryer at 375°F for 6-8 minutes for a crispier finish.
