Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients:

  • 6 slices bread (white or brioche)
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) milk
  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml) butter

Filling and Flavor Enhancers:

  • 3 tablespoons (45 g) softened cream cheese
  • 2 tablespoons (25 g) granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon (5 g) cinnamon

Flavor Additives:

  • 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 ml) vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Gently press down each bread slice using a rolling pin to create a uniform, thin surface.
  2. Apply a delicate layer of cream cheese across the entire bread slice, ensuring even coverage.
  3. Combine ground cinnamon and granulated sugar, then generously dust the cream cheese-covered bread.
  4. Carefully roll each slice into tight, compact cylinders, securing the filling inside.
  5. Whisk together egg, milk, and vanilla extract in a shallow dish, creating a smooth custard mixture.
  6. Submerge each rolled bread piece into the egg mixture, rotating to achieve complete and consistent coating.
  7. Heat a skillet over medium temperature (around 350°F), adding butter to create a golden cooking surface.
  8. Carefully place roll-ups in the skillet, rotating periodically to achieve an evenly caramelized exterior with a crispy golden-brown finish.
  9. Transfer cooked roll-ups to serving plates and drizzle with warm maple syrup for a decadent breakfast experience.

Notes

  • Choose soft, fresh white bread with minimal crust for the best texture and easier rolling.
  • Let cream cheese soften at room temperature to spread smoothly without tearing the bread.
  • Press gently when rolling to prevent bread from breaking and ensure a tight, compact roll-up.
  • Add a pinch of salt to the egg mixture to enhance overall flavor and balance sweetness.
