Prep Time 15 minutes

Ingredients
  

  • 10 –12 slices white bread or brioche
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1/4 cup light brown sugar
  • 3 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 2 large eggs
  • 3 tablespoons milk
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon for coating
  • Powdered sugar optional
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter for cooking
  • Maple syrup for serving optional

Instructions
 

  • In a small bowl, mix the softened butter, brown sugar, and 3 teaspoons of cinnamon until smooth and creamy.
  • In another bowl, combine the granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon. Set aside for coating.
  • In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk.
  • Trim the crusts from the bread slices. Using a rolling pin, flatten each slice to about 1/8 inch thick.
  • Spread a generous layer of the cinnamon butter mixture evenly over each slice of bread.
  • Roll each slice tightly into a log shape. If needed, seal the edge with a small dab of the cinnamon butter mixture.
  • Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and melt about 1 tablespoon butter.
  • Dip each roll-up into the egg mixture so all sides are coated. Allow excess to drip off.
  • Place seam-side down in the pan and cook a few at a time to avoid overcrowding.
  • Cook for about 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown on all sides. Add more butter to the pan if necessary.
  • Remove from the pan and immediately roll each one in the cinnamon sugar mixture.
  • Serve warm. These cinnamon sugar French toast roll-ups are delicious with powdered sugar or maple syrup.

Notes

You can substitute whole wheat bread for a slightly healthier version.
For extra flavor, add a splash of vanilla extract to the egg mixture.
Serve these with fresh berries, maple syrup, or honey for a complete breakfast plate.
