This Cinnamon Roll French Toast Roll-Up recipe transforms classic cinnamon roll flavors into a fun, handheld breakfast treat. Soft bread slices are flattened, filled with sweetened cream cheese, rolled up, dipped in a vanilla-egg mixture, and cooked on the stovetop until golden. Finished by coating in cinnamon sugar, these roll-ups offer a delightful mix of creamy, sweet, and warm comfort flavors perfect for breakfast or brunch.

Ingredients

For the Roll-Ups:

  • 8 slices of bread
  • ½ cup cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup powdered sugar

For the Coating:

  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar

For the Egg Mixture:

  • 2 large eggs
  • ¼ cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For Cooking:

  • Butter, for cooking

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Bread: Flatten each slice of bread using a rolling pin to make rolling easier and ensure an even surface for spreading the filling.
  2. Make the Cream Cheese Filling: In a bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar, mixing until smooth and creamy.
  3. Assemble Roll-Ups: Spread a thin, even layer of the cream cheese mixture over each flattened bread slice. Tightly roll each slice into a compact roll.
  4. Prepare Egg Mixture: In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and vanilla extract until fully combined to create the dipping batter.
  5. Make Cinnamon Sugar Coating: In another shallow dish, mix ground cinnamon and granulated sugar to use for rolling the cooked rolls.
  6. Cook the Roll-Ups: Heat a skillet over medium heat and melt enough butter to coat the surface. Dip each bread roll-up into the egg mixture, ensuring it is fully coated. Place the roll-ups in the skillet and cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side, or until the rolls are golden brown and cooked through.
  7. Coat and Serve: Once cooked, immediately roll each roll-up in the cinnamon-sugar mixture to coat evenly. Serve warm for best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Use white sandwich bread for best results as it’s easy to flatten and roll.
  • Make sure cream cheese is softened to blend smoothly with powdered sugar.
  • Cook over medium heat to avoid burning while ensuring the inside cooks through.
  • Serve with maple syrup or fresh fruit for extra indulgence.
  • Can be made ahead and reheated gently in a skillet or microwave.
