- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 cup sugar
Frying
- Butter for frying
Serving
- Maple syrup for serving
Instructions
- Prepare egg mixture: In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and sugar until well combined to create a flavorful dipping mixture.
- Flatten bread slices: Use a rolling pin to gently flatten each slice of bread, making them thin and easy to roll without tearing.
- Spread cream cheese: Evenly spread a thin layer of cream cheese on each flattened bread slice to add creamy richness inside the roll-ups.
- Roll and dip: Carefully roll up each bread slice tightly, then dip each roll-up into the prepared egg mixture, ensuring the entire roll is coated.
- Heat pan and melt butter: Place a frying pan over medium heat and melt enough butter to cover the pan surface for frying the roll-ups.
- Cook roll-ups: Fry the dipped roll-ups in the hot butter, turning them occasionally until all sides are golden brown and cooked through, approximately 8-10 minutes total.
- Serve: Remove the roll-ups from the pan, serve warm drizzled with maple syrup, and enjoy this delicious breakfast treat!
Notes
- Use day-old bread for easier rolling without tearing.
- Replace cream cheese with peanut butter or Nutella for varied flavors.
- Make sure to cook on medium heat to avoid burning while ensuring thorough cooking.
- Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
