Ingredients
Scale
- 8 slices day-old brioche or challah bread
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 cup milk (whole or preferred type)
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Pinch of nutmeg
- 1/4 cup finely chopped pecans
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup (for batter)
- 2 tablespoons butter (for cooking)
- Powdered sugar, for dusting
- Extra maple syrup, for serving
Instructions
- Lightly flatten each bread slice using a rolling pin. Remove the crusts if you prefer a cleaner roll.
- In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and 2 tablespoons of maple syrup until well combined.
- Dip one flattened bread slice into the egg mixture, coating both sides briefly. Do not soak the bread.
- Sprinkle a small amount of chopped pecans onto the coated bread slice.
- Tightly roll the bread slice up. Place seam-side down on a plate. Repeat with remaining slices.
- Melt butter in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
- Place the roll-ups seam-side down in the hot skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, turning gently until golden brown and cooked through.
- Remove the roll-ups from the skillet and place them on a serving platter.
- Dust generously with powdered sugar and serve immediately with extra warm maple syrup for dipping.
Notes
- Using day-old bread helps the slices hold their shape better when rolled.
- You can prepare the roll-ups ahead of time and store them covered in the refrigerator until ready to cook.
- Adjust the amount of cinnamon and nutmeg to what tastes best to you.
- For an extra festive touch, you can add a small drizzle of melted chocolate after dusting with sugar.
