Ingredients
For the Roll-Ups
- 6 slices white bread, crusts removed Ensure the bread is soft for easy rolling.
- 113 grams cream cheese, softened This provides a rich filling.
- 55 grams brown sugar Adds sweetness and richness.
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon For flavor.
- 1 large egg Used for dipping the rolled bread.
- 60 milliliters whole milk Used for egg mixture.
- 28 grams unsalted butter For cooking the roll-ups.
- to taste Maple syrup For serving.
Instructions
Preparation
- Use a rolling pin to flatten each slice of bread evenly, ensuring the bread is pliable for rolling.
- Combine softened cream cheese, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon in a bowl. Mix thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Evenly spread the cinnamon filling over each slice of flattened bread. Roll each slice tightly from one end to the other, sealing the edge by gently pressing or brushing with a small amount of water.
Cooking
- Whisk the egg together with milk in a shallow bowl until well combined.
- Heat butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
- Dip each filled roll into the egg-milk mixture, allowing excess to drip off.
- Cook seam-side down until golden brown on all sides, about 1–2 minutes per side.
Serving
- Plate the roll-ups and serve immediately with warm maple syrup for dipping or drizzling.
Notes
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet over low heat. Tip: Flatten the bread well for easier rolling and feel free to experiment with fillings like Nutella or fruit preserves.
