1. Prep the Filling & Flatten Bread
Mix cinnamon sugar – Combine brown sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla (if using).
Trim crusts (optional) for neat roll-ups.
Flatten bread with a rolling pin (makes rolling easier).
2. Assemble the Roll-Ups
Spread butter on each slice.
Sprinkle cinnamon sugar evenly.
Roll tightly (like a sushi roll), sealing the edge with a dab of butter.
3. Dip & Cook
Whisk eggs, milk, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt in a shallow bowl.
Dip each roll-up in the mixture, coating all sides.
Pan-fry in butter over medium heat for 2-3 minutes per side until golden.
4. Glaze & Serve
Mix cream cheese, powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth.
Drizzle over warm roll-ups.
Optional: Roll in extra cinnamon sugar for extra crunch!
Pro Tips for the Best Roll-Ups
π₯ Crispy edges – Use day-old bread (slightly stale works best).
π Add-ins – Try thin apple slices or chopped pecans inside.
⏳ Make ahead – Assemble the night before, then dip & cook in the morning.
π― Extra decadence – Serve with maple syrup or caramel sauce.
