Instructions
- Make Cinnamon Butter and Bread:
- In a small bowl, mix together 1/2 cup softened butter, light brown sugar, and cinnamon until combined.
- Remove the crusts from the bread and use a rolling pin to flatten each slice into a thin sheet.
- Spread a thin layer of the cinnamon butter mixture evenly on each slice. Roll each piece tightly to form a log.
- Prepare the French Toast Mixture:
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and vanilla extract.
- Quickly dip each roll into the egg mixture, ensuring the entire roll is coated, but don’t soak it.
- Cook the Roll-Ups:
- Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter in a skillet over medium heat.
- Fry the rolls, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crispy on all sides, about 2-3 minutes per side.
- Coat the Rolls:
- Mix together the granulated sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl.
- Once the rolls are fried, immediately roll them in the cinnamon-sugar mixture to coat them fully. Set aside on a serving plate.
- Make the Cream Cheese Icing:
- In a bowl, mix together the softened butter, cream cheese, and confectioners’ sugar until smooth and creamy.
- Transfer the icing to a piping bag for easy drizzling, or serve in a small dish as a dip.
Notes
- Ensure the bread is thick and soft to hold the filling well.
- You can use any type of bread you prefer, such as brioche or challah, for added flavor.
