1. Prep the Cinnamon Filling
Mix brown sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl.
Cut crusts off bread and flatten slightly with a rolling pin.
Spread each slice with softened butter, then sprinkle with cinnamon sugar.
2. Roll ‘Em Up!
Roll each slice tightly (like a mini cinnamon roll).
Optional: Add raisins or nuts before rolling.
3. Make the French Toast Custard
Whisk together eggs, milk, vanilla, and cinnamon in a shallow bowl.
4. Cook to Golden Perfection
Heat a buttered skillet over medium heat.
Dip each roll-up in the custard mixture, letting excess drip off.
Cook for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown.
5. Drizzle & Devour!
Mix cream cheese, powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla for the glaze.
Drizzle over warm roll-ups and serve immediately.
Pro Tips for the Best Roll-Ups
🔥 Keep heat medium-low—prevents burning before centers warm through.

🍯 Extra gooey? Brush rolls with maple syrup before adding cinnamon sugar.
🍓 Fruity twist: Spread raspberry jam inside before rolling.
