# Ingredients You’ll Need:
→ Main Ingredients
01 -
8 slices soft white bread, crusts removed
02 -
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
03 -
1/4 cup powdered sugar
04 -
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
05 -
1/2 cup brown sugar
06 -
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
07 -
2 large eggs
08 -
1/4 cup whole milk
09 -
2 tablespoons butter, for frying
# How to Make It:
01 -
In a medium mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and creamy.
02 -
Place each bread slice on a flat surface. Use a rolling pin to flatten each slice evenly.
03 -
Spread approximately 1 teaspoon of the cream cheese filling on one short end of each bread slice. Roll each slice tightly to form a log.
04 -
In a shallow bowl, mix together brown sugar and ground cinnamon. Set aside for coating.
05 -
In a separate bowl, whisk eggs and milk until fully combined.
06 -
Dip each roll-up into the egg mixture to evenly coat, then roll it in the cinnamon sugar mixture.
07 -
Heat butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Place the coated roll-ups into the pan and cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side, turning until all sides are golden and crisp.
08 -
Transfer fried roll-ups to a serving plate. Serve warm, optionally drizzled with maple syrup or cream cheese glaze.
# Extra Suggestions:
01 -
For best texture, serve roll-ups warm immediately after frying. Thicker bread holds up better during rolling and frying.
