Ingredients
- 1/2 cup + 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- 1/4 cup light brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
- 8 slices thick, soft bread
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for assembly)
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon (for assembly)
- 1-1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened (for assembly)
- 1/2 cup cream cheese, at room temperature (for icing)
- 1/4 cup confectioners’ sugar (for icing)
Directions
- Make Cinnamon Butter and Bread: In a bowl, mix together the softened butter, light brown sugar, and cinnamon. Cut the crusts off the bread slices, roll them flat with a rolling pin, and spread the cinnamon butter mixture over each slice. Roll the slices tightly into logs.
- Create Your French Toast: In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and vanilla extract. Dip each roll quickly into the egg mixture, ensuring it is completely coated. Fry the rolls in melted butter over medium heat until golden brown on all sides.
- Make the Coating and Icing: In a small bowl, mix together the granulated sugar and cinnamon. Roll the fried rolls in the sugar mixture to coat them. For the icing, blend the softened butter, cream cheese, and confectioners’ sugar until smooth. Use this icing as a drizzle or a dip for the roll-ups.
