A delicious fusion of cinnamon rolls and French toast, these Cinnamon Roll French Toast Roll-Ups are crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and filled with a sweet cinnamon-sugar mixture for a perfect breakfast or brunch treat.

Ingredients

10 slices white sandwich bread

3 tablespoons butter, melted

3 tablespoons brown sugar

2 tablespoons ground cinnamon

3 large eggs

1 tablespoon milk

½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

½ teaspoon vanilla extract

2–3 tablespoons butter for frying

Instructions

  1. Remove the crusts from the bread slices. Using a rolling pin, flatten each slice to about ⅛ inch thickness.
  2. In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, brown sugar, and 2 tablespoons of cinnamon until well combined.
  3. Spread the cinnamon mixture evenly over each flattened bread slice, leaving a small border at the edges. Roll up each slice tightly and seal the edges with gentle pressure.
  4. In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, ½ teaspoon cinnamon, and vanilla extract.
  5. Heat a skillet over medium heat and add 2–3 tablespoons of butter. Dip each roll in the egg mixture, ensuring it's fully coated, then place seam-side down in the skillet.
  6. Cook for 2–3 minutes, rotating to brown all sides evenly until golden and cooked through.

Notes

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Freeze individually on a baking sheet, then transfer to a freezer-safe container; reheat in oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10–12 minutes.
  • For added crunch, add chopped pecans or walnuts to the cinnamon filling.
  • Try spreading cream cheese on bread before cinnamon mixture for a creamy twist.
  • Add thin slices of banana or apple inside for a fruity variation.
  • Use brioche or challah bread for richer flavor and texture.
  • Quick dip in egg mixture prevents sogginess.
  • Can substitute gluten-free bread to make gluten-free.
  • Chocolate chips can be added to filling for a chocolate-cinnamon flavor.
