Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 6 slices slices of bread (white, whole wheat, or brioche) Use brioche for an extra-luxurious touch, or whole wheat for a hearty spin.
  • 1/4 cup cream cheese Softened cream cheese makes for an easier spread; you can also whip in some sweet or savory add-ins for excitement.
  • 1/4 cup sugar Use granulated sugar for sweetness, or brown sugar for a deeper, caramel-like flavor.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Opt for pure vanilla extract for that authentic flavor that elevates your roll-ups.
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon If you love warmth, don’t hesitate to add a pinch more to really bring the comforting flavors forward.
  • 2 large eggs These provide the delicious, custardy coating; free-range or organic eggs can add an extra richness.
  • 1/4 cup milk Use any milk you prefer—dairy or a plant-based alternative—just keep it creamy.
  • to taste Butter (for greasing the skillet) Use real butter for flavor or a non-stick spray for a quick clean-up.
  • to taste Powdered sugar (for serving) Dusting these roll-ups with powdered sugar makes them look extra special—like a little snowy treat!

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Flatten each slice of bread using a rolling pin to about 1/4 inch thick.
  2. In a small bowl, mix the cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly on each slice of flattened bread, leaving a little space at the edges.
  4. Carefully roll each slice of bread tightly around the filling and place them seam side down.
  5. In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and cinnamon until well combined.
  6. Heat a skillet over medium heat and melt some butter to coat it.
Cooking
  1. Dip each roll-up in the egg mixture, ensuring they are coated thoroughly.
  2. Place roll-ups seam side down in the skillet and cook until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.
  3. Remove from the skillet, sprinkle with powdered sugar, and serve warm.

Notes

You can prep the roll-ups ahead of time! Assemble them, place them in the fridge for a few hours, and cook them fresh when you're ready. Cook in batches for even browning.
