Cinnamon Roll French Toast Roll-Ups

Ingredients

• 8 slices of soft brioche bread
• 4 oz (½ cup) cream cheese, softened
• ¼ cup granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
• 2 large eggs
• ½ cup milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• ¼ cup granulated sugar (for topping)
• 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon (for topping)
• Maple syrup for drizzling

Instructions

1. Prepare the Filling: In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, and ground cinnamon. Mix until smooth and creamy.
2. Flatten the Bread: Take each slice of brioche bread and gently flatten it using a rolling pin to about ¼ inch thick.
3. Assemble the Roll-Ups: Spread about 1 tablespoon of the cinnamon filling on each slice of flattened bread and roll tightly.
4. Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and vanilla extract until well blended.
5. Coat the Roll-Ups: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat, dip each roll-up into the egg mixture, and place it seam-side down in the skillet.
6. Cook the Roll-Ups: Cook the roll-ups for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and slightly crispy.
7. Prepare the Cinnamon Sugar: Mix the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon in a shallow bowl.
8. Coat with Cinnamon Sugar: Roll the cooked roll-ups in the cinnamon sugar mixture to coat them well.
9. Serve and Enjoy: Arrange the roll-ups on a serving plate and drizzle with warm maple syrup before serving.
