A delightful fusion of cinnamon rolls and French toast, this recipe combines the gooey sweetness of cinnamon filling with the comforting texture of French toast. Ideal for weekend brunches or special occasions, these rolls are easy to make and offer endless customization options.
Prepare the Bread: Use a rolling pin to flatten each slice of bread.
Make the Filling: In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, granulated sugar, and ground cinnamon to form a paste.
Fill and Roll the Bread: Spread a thin layer of the cinnamon-sugar mixture on each slice of bread. Roll up tightly, sealing the seam.
Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, and vanilla extract.
Coat the Rolls: Dip each roll into the egg mixture, fully coating it.
Cook the Rolls: Heat butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the rolls, seam-side down, until golden brown on all sides, about 2-3 minutes per side.
Serve: Serve warm, drizzled with maple syrup or dusted with powdered sugar.
