Description

Cinnamon French Toast Roll Ups are a delightful breakfast treat that combines the flavors of cinnamon sugar with soft, buttery bread rolled up and cooked to golden perfection. Perfect for a festive morning or a cozy weekend brunch, these roll ups offer a taste reminiscent of warm cinnamon rolls but with less preparation time and fuss. Serve them warm with a dusting of powdered sugar or a drizzle of maple syrup for an irresistible start to the day.

Ingredients

Scale

Filling and Coating

  • 1/2 stick butter (softened)
  • 1/4 cup light brown sugar
  • 3 tsp cinnamon

Batter and Topping

  • 2 eggs
  • 3 tbsp milk
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • Powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)
  • 2 tbsp butter for cooking (more if necessary)

Main Ingredient

  • 12 to 15 slices white bread (crusts removed)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Cinnamon Filling: In a small bowl, combine softened butter, light brown sugar, and 3 teaspoons of cinnamon. Beat the mixture until it becomes smooth and fully blended.
  2. Mix Sugar Cinnamon Coating: In another bowl, mix the granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon; set aside for coating later.
  3. Make Egg Mixture: Beat the eggs with milk in a shallow bowl; this will be used to coat the roll ups before cooking.
  4. Prepare Bread Slices: Remove crusts from the bread slices, then flatten each slice with a rolling pin to about 1/8 inch thickness to make them easier to roll.
  5. Spread Filling on Bread: Generously spread the cinnamon butter filling onto each flattened bread slice.
  6. Roll the Bread: Carefully roll up each slice tightly around the filling to form a compact roll.
  7. Preheat Pan and Cook: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and melt about 1 tablespoon of butter.
  8. Coat and Fry Roll Ups: Dip each roll in the egg mixture, coating thoroughly, then place in the pan seam side down. Cook 3 to 4 rolls at a time.
  9. Turn and Brown: When the bottom side is browned, turn the roll about a quarter turn and continue rolling and cooking until all sides are golden and cooked evenly.
  10. Coat with Sugar and Serve: Roll the cooked French toast roll ups in the cinnamon sugar mixture or dust them with powdered sugar. Serve warm with optional maple syrup for dipping.

Notes

  • This recipe is quick and easy, ideal for a Christmas morning or festive breakfast.

  • Use softened butter in the filling to get a smooth spreadable texture.
  • If desired, adjust cinnamon amounts to suit your taste preferences.
  • Serve immediately for best texture and flavor; leftovers can be reheated gently.
  • Substitute maple syrup or honey for dipping to add extra sweetness.
