Ingredients
  

For the Roll-Ups
  • 8 slices White Sandwich Bread Fresh, soft bread yields the best results for rolling.
  • 4 tablespoons Butter (melted) Adds richness and helps the filling adhere; margarine can be used for a dairy-free option.
  • 2 tablespoons Brown Sugar Sweetens the filling with a caramel-like flavor; substitute with coconut sugar for a less processed option.
  • 1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon Essential for that signature flavor; opt for Ceylon cinnamon for a milder taste.
For the French Toast Batter
  • 3 large Large Eggs Acts as a binder; mashed bananas or a commercial egg replacer can be used for an egg-free version.
  • 1 cup Milk Provides creaminess; almond or oat milk are great lactose-free alternatives.
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract Enhances the overall flavor; go for pure vanilla extract for the best results.
For Cooking
  • 2 tablespoons Butter for Frying Key for achieving a crispy exterior; can be substituted with cooking oil or a non-stick spray.

Equipment

  • non-stick skillet
  • Rolling Pin
  • Shallow bowl
  • small bowl

Method
 

Step-By-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare the Bread: Trim the crusts from the slices of white sandwich bread and use a rolling pin to flatten each slice into a thin layer.
  2. Make the Cinnamon Filling: In a small bowl, whisk together melted butter, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon until well combined, then spread this mixture evenly across each flattened bread slice.
  3. Roll Up the Bread: Starting from one end, tightly roll each slice of bread to create a snug spiral, sealing the edges gently.
  4. Whisk the Egg Mixture: In a shallow bowl, whisk together large eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and a dash of cinnamon until smooth.
  5. Heat the Skillet: Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat, adding a generous pat of butter to melt and coat the bottom.
  6. Dip the Roll-Ups: Carefully dip each roll in the egg mixture, ensuring they are evenly coated, then place them seam-side down in the hot skillet.
  7. Cook Until Golden: Cook each roll for 2-3 minutes, rotating them gently to ensure even cooking on all sides until golden brown.

Notes

Use fresh, soft white sandwich bread for easy rolling. Avoid soaking the bread too long in the egg mixture to prevent sogginess. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
