# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Remove the crusts from each slice of bread and flatten gently using a rolling pin until thin and pliable.
02 -
In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, brown sugar, and 2 tablespoons cinnamon to form a thick, spreadable paste.
03 -
Spread a thin layer of the cinnamon mixture on each slice of bread, leaving a small margin at the edges. Roll each slice tightly into a log, pressing gently to seal the edges.
04 -
In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon, and vanilla extract until well combined.
05 -
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon butter. One at a time, dip each roll-up in the egg mixture, coating all sides, but do not oversoak. Place the roll-ups seam-side down in the skillet. Cook in batches, adding more butter as needed. Rotate each roll gently every 30–45 seconds to ensure even browning on all sides—about 2–3 minutes total per roll.

Serve warm as is or dusted with powdered sugar and drizzled with maple syrup for extra indulgence.
