Ingredients

Scale

10 slices white sandwich bread
3 tablespoons butter, melted
3 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
3 large eggs
1 tablespoon milk
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
2–3 tablespoons butter for frying

Instructions

Prep Your Bread: Start by removing the crusts from your bread slices. I know, it feels a little wrong, but trust me—this step is crucial for rolling! Then, using a rolling pin, get those slices nice and flat. Roll out any frustration you might have from the week; it’s therapeutic!
Create Your Cinnamon Mixture: In a small bowl, mix your melted butter, brown sugar, and 2 tablespoons of cinnamon. This heavenly blend will be the magic filling for your roll-ups.
Spread & Roll: Spread the cinnamon mixture evenly on each slice of bread, leaving a small border at the edges because we don’t want any of that goodness leaking out during cooking! Now, tight rolls are key—roll each slice up and seal it gently. Take a moment to admire your little cinnamon logs.
Egg Mixture Time: In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon, and vanilla extract. We want this to be a delightful custard that coats our rolls beautifully.
Let’s Get Cooking: Heat a skillet over medium heat and add some butter for frying. Dip each roll in the egg mixture and place it seam-side down in the skillet. Cook for about 2-3 minutes, rotating to brown all sides. The smell wafting through your kitchen is going to make everyone think you’re a culinary genius!

Notes

Don’t worry if a roll bursts open; it just adds to the charm! Plus, any exposed filling will caramelize beautifully—bonus points for you!
Make sure to keep the heat at medium. High heat can burn those little guys before they’re cooked through.
These roll-ups can be made ahead of time and reheated, making them perfect for brunch gatherings. Your friends will think you’re a pro!
