Ingredients

Scale

For the Cinnamon Roll Filling:

10 slices white sandwich bread
3 tablespoons butter, melted
3 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons ground cinnamon

For the French Toast Coating:

3 large eggs
1 tablespoon milk
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
2–3 tablespoons butter for frying

Instructions

Prepare the Bread: Remove the crusts from the bread slices. Using a rolling pin, flatten each slice to make them easier to roll and evenly spread the filling.
Make the Cinnamon Sugar Mixture: In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, brown sugar, and 2 tablespoons of ground cinnamon. Mix well until combined.
Spread the Filling: Evenly spread the cinnamon sugar mixture onto each flattened bread slice, leaving a small border around the edges to prevent overflow when rolling.
Roll the Bread: Roll up each slice tightly from one edge to the other, applying gentle pressure to seal the edges and keep the filling inside.
Prepare the French Toast Batter: In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, ½ teaspoon cinnamon, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
Heat the Skillet: Place a skillet over medium heat and add 2-3 tablespoons of butter, allowing it to melt and coat the pan evenly.
Dip and Fry: Dip each roll-up into the egg mixture, ensuring it is well coated. Place the roll seam-side down in the hot skillet to prevent uncurling during cooking.
Cook Evenly: Cook each roll-up for about 2 to 3 minutes in total, rotating them carefully to brown all sides evenly until golden and cooked through.

Notes

Use white sandwich bread for best texture and flexibility; slightly stale bread works well too.
To prevent the roll-ups from unrolling while cooking, always place them seam-side down first in the skillet.
Serve warm with maple syrup, powdered sugar, or fresh fruit for an extra special touch.
For variation, try using whole wheat bread or adding cream cheese spread along with the cinnamon sugar mixture.
Ensure the skillet is at medium heat to avoid burning the butter or bread.
