Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Cinnamon Roll French Toast Roll-Ups
  1. Start by trimming the crusts off your white sandwich bread slices for a neat finish. Using a rolling pin, flatten each slice until they are about ¼ inch thick; this will make them pliable for rolling.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, brown sugar, and 2 tablespoons of ground cinnamon until well blended. Evenly spread this cinnamon-sugar filling across each flattened bread slice.
  3. Carefully roll each slice of bread tightly away from you, ensuring that the buttery filling stays inside. Press gently to seal the roll.
  4. In a shallow bowl, crack the three large eggs and add in 1 tablespoon of milk, along with ½ teaspoon of vanilla extract and ½ teaspoon of ground cinnamon. Whisk until well combined and slightly frothy.
  5. Place a non-stick skillet over medium heat and melt about 2-3 tablespoons of butter.
  6. Dip each roll into the egg mixture and place seam-side down into the skillet. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  7. Once golden, gently transfer the roll-ups to a plate. Optionally, dust them with powdered sugar or drizzle warm maple syrup over the top.
