1. Can I make these roll-ups ahead of time?

Yes, you can assemble the roll-ups the night before and store them in the fridge. In the morning, dip in the egg mixture and cook as directed. They also freeze well—just reheat in a toaster oven or skillet for best results.

2. What kind of bread works best for this recipe?

Soft white sandwich bread is ideal because it's easy to roll without cracking. You can also use whole wheat or gluten-free bread, but make sure it’s fresh and pliable.

3. How do I keep the filling from leaking out while cooking?

Avoid overfilling the bread slices and make sure to roll them tightly. Start cooking seam side down to help seal the roll during frying.

4. Can I make this recipe dairy-free?

Absolutely. Substitute butter with coconut oil or vegan butter, and use a non-dairy milk like almond or oat milk in the batter. The result is just as delicious and beginner-friendly.

Instructions

Remove the crusts from the bread slices and flatten each slice with a rolling pin.
Mix melted butter, brown sugar, and 2 tablespoons cinnamon in a small bowl. Spread over each bread slice, leaving a small border.
Roll up each slice tightly and press gently to seal the edge.
In a shallow bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, and vanilla extract to make the batter.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a bit of butter.
Dip each roll-up in the egg mixture, coat evenly but don’t oversoak.
Place seam-side down in the skillet and cook, turning to brown all sides, about 2–3 minutes total.
Transfer to a plate and serve warm with toppings of your choice.

Notes

Use soft, fresh bread for easier rolling.
Don’t oversoak in egg mixture to avoid sogginess.
Cook seam-side down first to help seal the roll.
Reheat leftovers in a skillet or toaster oven for best texture.
Freezes well for up to 1 month—just reheat directly from frozen.
