Description
Make French toast using flattened bread, filled and rolled up, then dipped in French toast batter and cooked until golden. Top with a simple glaze.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 slices sandwich bread, crusts removed
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 tablespoon butter, for cooking
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar, for glaze
- 2 tablespoons milk, for glaze
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract, for glaze
Instructions
- In a small bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, 1/4 cup powdered sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon until smooth. This is your filling.
- Place one slice of bread on a clean surface. Use a rolling pin to flatten the bread until it is thin.
- Spread about 1 tablespoon of the cream cheese filling evenly over the flattened bread slice, leaving a small border on one edge.
- Roll the bread tightly from the opposite edge, creating a small roll. Repeat with the remaining bread slices and filling.
- In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs and 1/4 cup milk for the French toast batter.
- Heat the butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Dip each roll up briefly into the egg mixture, turning to coat all sides lightly. Do not soak the rolls.
- Place the coated roll ups in the hot skillet. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side, turning gently, until golden brown on all sides and heated through.
- While the rolls cook, prepare the glaze by whisking together the 1/2 cup powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons milk, and 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth.
- Remove the roll ups from the skillet and arrange them on a serving plate. Drizzle the glaze over the warm roll ups before serving.
Notes
- Use soft white bread for the best rolling results.
- If the cream cheese filling is too stiff, let it soften longer at room temperature.
- You can add a small sprinkle of ground cinnamon to the egg mixture for extra flavor.
