Sweet Cinnamon French Toast Roll-Ups: Your New Favorite Breakfast Treat

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1

   Using a rolling pin, flatten each slice of bread as thinly as possible. Trim off crusts if desired.
2. 2

   In a shallow dish, whisk together eggs, milk, vanilla extract, ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
3. 3

   In a separate shallow dish, combine ¼ cup granulated sugar and 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon for the coating. Set aside.
4. 4

   Dip one flattened bread slice into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are coated but not saturated. Remove excess liquid.
5. 5

   Place a small line of the cinnamon-sugar mixture (from the coating dish) down one edge of the soaked bread slice. Carefully roll the bread tightly into a log shape.
6. 6

   Repeat with remaining bread slices.
7. 7

   Heat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of the melted butter to coat the pan.
8. 8

   Place the rolled-up French toast, seam-down, in the hot skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, rotating until all sides are golden brown and cooked through. Cook in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan, adding more melted butter as needed.
9. 9

   As soon as the roll-ups come off the skillet, brush each lightly with some of the remaining melted butter. Immediately roll them in the cinnamon-sugar coating mixture until evenly coated.

    Serve hot with your favorite toppings like powdered sugar, maple syrup, or fresh fruit.
