Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 8 slices soft white or whole wheat sandwich bread, crusts removed
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup strawberry jam (or filling of choice)
Egg Mixture
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Coating and Cooking
- 1 tablespoon butter (for cooking)
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Prepare the bread: Flatten each slice of bread with a rolling pin until thin to make rolling easier and ensure a smooth, even texture.
- Fill the roll ups: Spread a thin layer of softened cream cheese on one end of each flattened bread slice, then add a small spoonful of strawberry jam or your preferred filling.
- Roll tightly: Carefully roll each slice up tightly from the filled end to form a compact roll.
- Mix the egg batter: In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Prepare the cinnamon sugar: In a separate small bowl, combine the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon.
- Cook the roll ups: Heat a skillet over medium heat and melt the butter. Dip each roll up into the egg mixture, allowing the excess to drip off, then place seam side down in the skillet. Cook for 2–3 minutes per side or until golden brown all around.
- Coat the roll ups: Immediately roll each cooked roll up in the cinnamon sugar mixture, ensuring an even coating.
- Serve warm: Enjoy the roll ups warm for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Try different fillings such as Nutella, peanut butter and banana, or apple butter to vary flavors.
- These roll ups can be made ahead and frozen—just reheat in the oven or air fryer for a quick treat whenever you want.
