  • 1 rolling pin
  • 1 shallow dish
  • 1 non-stick skillet

Ingredients
  

  • 8 slices bread Preferably white or brioche.

  • In a small bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, brown sugar, and 1 teaspoon of the ground cinnamon until well combined. Set aside.
  • Using a rolling pin, gently flatten each slice of bread until thin but not torn.
  • Spread about 1 tablespoon of the cream cheese mixture over one side of each flattened bread slice. Roll the bread tightly from the cream cheese side to the opposite end.
  • In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and remaining 1 teaspoon of cinnamon until fully blended.
  • Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the butter, allowing it to melt and coat the pan.
  • Dip each roll-up into the egg mixture, ensuring all sides are well-coated.
  • Place the roll-ups seam-side down in the skillet and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown.
  • Remove from the skillet and repeat the process with any remaining roll-ups.
  • Dust with powdered sugar if desired and serve warm with maple syrup.

Notes

Feel free to add chocolate chips or nuts to the cream cheese filling for extra flavor and texture.
These roll-ups can be prepared ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator before cooking. Just increase the cooking time slightly if they are cold.
For a dairy-free option, swap cream cheese with a plant-based alternative and use almond or oat milk.
