How to Make Cinnamon Roll French Toast Roll-Ups
1️⃣ Prep the Bread
Trim crusts from each bread slice. Use a rolling pin to flatten each slice.
2️⃣ Make the Filling
In a bowl, mix melted butter, brown sugar, and 2 tbsp cinnamon. Spread evenly over each bread slice, leaving a small edge.
3️⃣ Roll Up the Bread
Tightly roll up each slice. Press gently to seal the edges.
4️⃣ Mix the Coating
In a shallow bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, 1/2 tsp cinnamon, and vanilla extract.
5️⃣ Cook the Roll-Ups
Heat a skillet over medium heat and add butter. Dip each roll-up in the egg mixture and place seam-side down in the skillet. Cook for 2–3 minutes, turning to brown all sides.
Notes & Tips
- Use soft bread: Fresh, soft bread rolls more easily without tearing.
- Don’t oversoak: A quick dip in the egg mix is all you need.
- Watch the heat: Medium heat prevents burning.
- Make-ahead tip: Cook and freeze in a single layer. Reheat in a skillet or toaster oven.
