🧾 Ingredients

🥣 Step-by-Step Instructions

1️⃣ Prepare the Cinnamon Filling

In a small bowl, mix the cream cheese, brown sugar, and cinnamon until smooth and creamy. This will be your rich, spiced filling.

2️⃣ Flatten the Bread

Using a rolling pin, gently flatten each slice of bread. This makes rolling easier and helps the filling stay inside.

3️⃣ Assemble the Roll-Ups

Spread a thin, even layer of the cinnamon filling on each slice. Roll tightly into a log and set aside seam-side down.

4️⃣ Make the French Toast Coating

In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and vanilla.

5️⃣ Dip and Cook

Dip each roll-up into the egg mixture, coating all sides. Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat and cook the roll-ups, turning gently, until golden on all sides.

6️⃣ Make the Glaze

Mix powdered sugar with milk until smooth. Drizzle over warm roll-ups just before serving.

Pro Tips for Perfect Roll-Ups

• Use soft sandwich bread — it rolls better than thick or crusty bread.
• Don’t overfill — too much filling will leak during cooking.
• Cook on medium heat so the inside warms without burning the outside.
• Add a pinch of nutmeg or cardamom for extra warmth.

Serving Ideas

• Serve with fresh berries or sliced bananas
• Add a side of crispy bacon or sausage for balance
• Drizzle with maple syrup for extra indulgence
• Dust lightly with extra powdered sugar for a bakery look
