Ingredients
Scale
For the Cream Cheese Filling:
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
For the Roll-Ups:
- 8 slices white sandwich bread, crusts removed
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 2 tbsp butter, for cooking
- Optional: maple syrup or cream cheese glaze for serving
Instructions
- Cream Cheese Filling: In a small bowl, mix cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Prepare Roll-Ups: Flatten each slice of bread with a rolling pin. Spread 1 tablespoon of the cream cheese mixture along one edge of each slice and roll tightly into a log.
- Egg Coating: In a shallow dish, whisk eggs and milk together. Dip each roll-up into the egg mixture, coating all sides.
- Cooking: Heat butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Cook the roll-ups, seam side down first, turning until all sides are golden brown, about 6–8 minutes total.
- Cinnamon Sugar Coating: Immediately roll each in the cinnamon-sugar mixture while warm.
- Serve: Serve with maple syrup or a drizzle of cream cheese glaze if desired.
Notes
- These roll-ups are best served fresh and warm.
- You can prepare the cream cheese filling ahead of time for quicker assembly.
