Ingredients
Scale
- 8 slices day-old white or whole wheat bread
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter (for frying)
- 1/2 cup cream cheese, Nutella, or fruit preserves (for filling)
Instructions
- Trim the crusts from the bread and flatten each slice with a rolling pin.
- Spread your chosen filling generously on one side of each slice.
- Roll tightly from one end and secure with toothpicks if needed.
- In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, cinnamon, sugar, and vanilla until smooth.
- Heat butter in a skillet over medium heat. Dip each roll in the egg mixture before placing seam-side down in the skillet.
- Cook until golden brown on all sides (about 3-4 minutes per side). Remove and place on paper towels to absorb excess grease.
- Serve warm, topped with powdered sugar or maple syrup.
Notes
- For a nutty flavor twist, use almond milk instead of regular milk.
- Add chocolate chips or berries to the filling for additional flavor.
