Ingredients
Scale
- 6 slices of bread (white or brioche work best)
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup (60ml) milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons (25g) granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons (28g) unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine granulated sugar and cinnamon until evenly mixed.
- In a shallow dish, whisk together eggs, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Trim crusts if desired and flatten each slice of bread with a rolling pin.
- Brush each slice lightly with melted butter and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar.
- Roll each slice tightly into a log. Secure with toothpicks if needed.
- Dip each roll-up in the egg mixture, coating all sides.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat and lightly grease if needed.
- Cook roll-ups on all sides until golden brown, about 2–3 minutes per side.
- Remove toothpicks if used and serve immediately.
Notes
- Serve with maple syrup, powdered sugar, or fresh fruit.
- Brioche bread gives the richest flavor and texture.
- Do not soak too long in egg mixture to avoid soggy bread.
