Instructions
Creating French Toast Roll Ups is straightforward with these easy-to-follow steps:
1. Prepare the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon. Mix until smooth and set aside.
2. Flatten the Bread: Using a rolling pin, flatten each slice of bread to make it easier to roll.
3. Fill the Bread: Spread a generous amount of the cream cheese mixture on each slice of flattened bread. Roll up the bread tightly, starting from one end.
4. Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and vanilla extract until well combined.
5. Coat the Rolls: In a shallow dish, mix together the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon. Roll each bread roll in the egg mixture, ensuring it’s well coated, then roll in the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
6. Cook the Roll Ups: Heat a skillet over medium heat and melt some butter. Place the rolled-up bread in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
7. Serve Warm: Once cooked, transfer the roll-ups to a plate and serve immediately. You can also sprinkle with extra powdered sugar or serve with maple syrup.
By following these steps, you’ll have delicious French Toast Roll Ups ready to impress your family and friends!
