Preparation

Step 1

Trim the crust from the bread and flatten each slice out with a rolling pin.

Place a heaping teaspoon of your filling an inch from one end of the bread, and spread it out in a strip. Roll the bread up and repeat with the remaining slices.

In a shallow bowl thoroughly whisk the eggs and milk together. In another shallow bowl, mix the sugar and cinnamon together.

On a griddle (or large sauté pan), melt 1 tablespoon butter over medium heat. Coat the rolls with the egg mixture and place seam side down on the griddle (or in the pan.) Cook for about 1-2 minutes per side, until golden brown. Add more butter to the griddle or pan as needed for the second batch.

Place the hot rolls into the cinnamon/sugar and roll until completely covered, gently shaking off any excess.

Serve with maple syrup, if desired.
