Ingredients
- 8 slices of white bread, crusts removed
- 1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 2 tbsp butter, for frying
- Maple syrup or cream cheese glaze, for serving (optional)
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth.
- Flatten bread slices with a rolling pin.
- Spread about 1 tablespoon of cream cheese mixture onto each slice and roll up tightly.
- In a shallow bowl, whisk eggs and milk together.
- In another bowl, combine granulated sugar and cinnamon.
- Dip each roll-up in the egg mixture and then gently roll in the cinnamon sugar.
- Heat butter in a skillet over medium heat. Cook roll-ups, turning often, until all sides are golden brown.

Notes
- Use day-old bread for easier rolling.
