Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 6 slices white bread
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons butter
Filling Ingredients:
- 3 tablespoons softened cream cheese
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Optional Toppings:
- Maple syrup
- Powdered sugar
- Whipped cream
Instructions
- Transform white bread slices into pliable sheets by gently flattening with a rolling pin, creating an even surface for filling distribution.
- Craft a luxurious filling by blending cream cheese with powdered sugar, brown sugar, and cinnamon until achieving a silky, homogeneous texture.
- Generously spread the prepared filling across each flattened bread slice, ensuring complete and even coverage.
- Carefully roll each slice into compact, tight cylindrical logs, sealing the filling securely within.
- Whisk eggs, milk, and vanilla extract in a wide, shallow container, creating a rich, aromatic battering mixture.
- Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat, preparing a golden cooking surface.
- Immerse each rolled log completely into the egg mixture, coating thoroughly and allowing excess liquid to drip away.
- Gently place battered rolls into the heated skillet, rotating periodically to achieve an evenly bronzed exterior.
- Cook until each roll develops a crisp, caramelized golden-brown crust, indicating perfect doneness.
- Transfer cooked rolls to serving plates and embellish with a delicate dusting of powdered sugar, a drizzle of warm syrup, or a dollop of freshly whipped cream.
Notes
- Opt for soft, fresh white bread to ensure easy rolling and a tender texture without cracking.
- Chill the cream cheese filling briefly before spreading to make it easier to handle and prevent tearing the bread.
- Create gluten-free version by using gluten-free bread and checking that all ingredients are certified gluten-free.
- Enhance nutrition by substituting whole wheat bread and adding a sprinkle of ground flaxseed to the filling for extra fiber and omega-3s.
