- shallow bowl
- whisk
- large nonstick skillet
- measuring spoons

- cutting board
Ingredients
Filling and Coating
- 4 ounces cream cheese softened
- 0.25 cup powdered sugar plus extra for dusting
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
Assembly
- 8 slices white sandwich bread crusts removed
- 2 large eggs beaten
- 2 tbsp whole milk
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter for frying
Instructions
- In a small bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
- In a separate shallow dish, combine the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon. Set aside for coating the roll-ups.
- Flatten each bread slice with a rolling pin until thin and pliable. Spread about 1 tablespoon of the cream cheese mixture evenly over one side of each bread slice.
- Roll up each bread slice tightly, starting from one end, to form a cylinder. Press gently to seal the edge.
- In a shallow bowl, whisk together the beaten eggs and milk. Dip each bread roll-up into the egg mixture, coating it evenly on all sides.
- Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter. Place 4 roll-ups in the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes per side, or until golden brown. Repeat with the remaining roll-ups, adding more butter as needed.
- Immediately roll the cooked roll-ups in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until fully coated. Dust with additional powdered sugar before serving.
Notes
Roll the bread slices tightly to prevent the filling from leaking out during cooking.
