[the_ad id="4667"]Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 8 slices soft white bread, crusts cut off
- 3 tablespoons butter, for sauté pan
- Maple syrup, for serving
Instructions
In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt 3 tablespoons butter until just melted. With a fork, stir in 3 tablespoons granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, and 1 tablespoon cinnamon until a smooth spreadable mixture forms. Set aside.
In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk. Set aside.
In another small bowl, stir together 2 tablespoons granulated sugar with 2 teaspoons cinnamon. Set aside.
After trimming the crusts from each slice of bread, roll one slice out to about 1/8-inch thickness with a rolling pin. Spread each slice with a thin layer of the butter mixture and roll up tightly. Repeat with remaining bread slices and butter mixture.
Place 3 tablespoons butter in a large non-stick sauté pan and let melt over medium heat. (If using a small sauté pan, use just 2 tablespoons butter and sauté the roll-ups in two batches.) Dip one roll at a time in the egg mixture and place in the sauté pan. Allow roll-ups to sauté for 1-2 minutes per side until golden brown and slightly crisp on the outside.
Remove to a work surface and sprinkle each roll-up generously with the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
Serve immediately with maple syrup.
Notes
Make sure to roll the bread tightly to prevent the filling from leaking out during cooking.
For extra flavor, you can add a dollop of whipped cream or a sprinkle of powdered sugar before serving.
