Ingredients
Scale
Bread and Base Ingredients:
- 10–12 slices of bread
- 2 eggs
- 3 tablespoons milk
Filling and Seasoning Ingredients:
- ½ stick (4 ounces) softened butter
- ¼ cup light brown sugar
- 3 teaspoons cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon (or to taste)
Finishing Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons butter for cooking (more if necessary)
- Powdered sugar (optional)
Instructions
- Craft a luscious cinnamon filling by whisking softened butter, light brown sugar, and ground cinnamon until velvety and uniform in texture.
- Prepare two separate seasoning mixtures: one blending granulated sugar with additional cinnamon, and another combining whisked eggs with milk.
- Carefully trim bread crusts and gently flatten each slice using a rolling pin until paper-thin and uniformly smooth.
- Lavishly spread the prepared cinnamon filling across each bread slice, ensuring complete and even coverage.
- Methodically roll each bread slice tightly around the cinnamon filling, creating compact cylindrical shapes with sealed edges.
- Warm a non-stick skillet over medium heat, melting a pat of butter to create a golden cooking surface.
- Delicately dip each rolled bread cylinder into the egg-milk mixture, ensuring complete coating without oversaturating.
- Carefully place rolls seam-side down in the skillet, cooking in small batches to maintain optimal temperature and prevent crowding.
- Rotate rolls periodically, allowing each side to achieve a rich, golden-brown caramelization.
- Once fully cooked, immediately transfer rolls to the reserved cinnamon-sugar mixture, thoroughly coating each piece.
- Plate the warm rolls and offer maple syrup alongside for optional dipping, creating a decadent breakfast experience.
Notes
- Perfect for weekend mornings or surprising your family with a special breakfast that looks fancy but comes together quickly.
- Customize the filling by experimenting with different spreads like Nutella, cream cheese, or fruit preserves for endless delicious variations.
