Cinnamon Roll French Toast Roll-Ups

In the world of breakfast, two beloved classics reign supreme: cinnamon rolls and French toast. But what if we could merge these two into one incredibly decadent, mouth-watering dish? Enter the Cinnamon Roll French Toast Roll-Ups, a culinary creation that promises to transform your morning meal into a moment of pure bliss.

Ingredients:

• For the Roll-Ups:
  • 1/2 cup + 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/4 cup light brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cinnamon
  • 8 slices thick, soft bread
• For the French Toast:
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• For the Assembly:
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1-1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
• For the Icing:
  • 1/2 cup cream cheese, room temperature
  • 1/4 cup confectioners’ sugar

Directions:

1. Prepare the Cinnamon Butter and Bread:
   • In a bowl, mix together butter, light brown sugar, and cinnamon until well combined. This delightful concoction will serve as the heart of our roll-ups.
   • Prepare your bread by cutting off the crusts, then using a rolling pin to flatten each slice. Spread the cinnamon butter mixture over each slice before rolling them up tightly, sealing in the flavor.
2. Create Your French Toast:
   • Whisk together eggs, milk, and vanilla extract in a separate bowl. This mixture will give our roll-ups the classic French toast flavor and texture.
   • Dip each bread roll in the egg mixture, ensuring it’s completely coated. Then, in a skillet over medium heat, melt additional butter and fry the rolls until golden brown on all sides. The result? A crispy, tender delight.
3. Make the Coating and Icing:
   • Combine granulated sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Roll the cooked French toast rolls in this mixture to coat them evenly, adding an extra layer of sweetness and spice.
   • For the icing, blend together softened butter, cream cheese, and confectioners’ sugar until smooth. This creamy topping is the perfect finish, offering a sweet counterbalance to the spice of the cinnamon.
