Ingredients
Scale
For the Roll-Ups:
- 8 slices of white or brioche bread (crusts removed)
- 4 oz cream cheese (softened)
- 2 tbsp powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- ¼ cup milk
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
For Cooking:
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
For Serving:
- Maple syrup, powdered sugar, or fresh fruit (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Bread: Flatten each slice of bread with a rolling pin until thin.
- Make the Filling: In a small bowl, mix the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Assemble Roll-Ups: Spread a thin layer of the cream cheese mixture on each slice of bread. Roll each slice tightly, seam side down.
- Prepare the Coating: In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk. In a separate dish, mix the granulated sugar and cinnamon.
- Cook the Roll-Ups: Heat butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Dip each roll-up in the egg mixture, ensuring it’s fully coated, and place it in the skillet seam side down. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
- Coat with Cinnamon Sugar: Immediately roll the cooked roll-ups in the cinnamon-sugar mixture while they’re still warm.
- Serve: Serve warm with a drizzle of maple syrup, a dusting of powdered sugar, or fresh fruit, if desired.
Notes
- Make Ahead: Roll-ups can be assembled the night before and stored in the refrigerator. Dip and cook just before serving.
- Filling Variations: Swap cream cheese for Nutella, peanut butter, or fruit preserves for a different flavor.
- Storage: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in a skillet or oven to retain crispness.
