Ingredients
  

For the Rolls

  • 8 slices Soft white bread — Crusts removed
  • 4 oz Cream cheese — Softene
  • 2 tbsp Granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp Ground cinnamon
  • 2 tbsp Butter — For cooking

For the French Toast Coating

  • 2 large Eggs
  • ¼ cup Whole milk
  • 1 tsp Vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp Granulated sugar
  • ½ tsp Ground cinnamon

For Finishing

  • 2 tbsp Granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp Ground cinnamon
  • 2 tbsp Maple syrup — For serving
  • ½ cup Fresh berries — Optional

Instructions
 

  • Remove the crusts from the bread slices. Use a rolling pin to flatten each slice until thin and flexible.
  • In a small bowl, combine softened cream cheese, sugar, and cinnamon. Spread a thin layer of the mixture over each flattened bread slice.
  • Starting from one edge, tightly roll each slice into a log. Place the rolls seam-side down while preparing the coating.
  • Whisk together eggs, milk, vanilla extract, sugar, and cinnamon in a shallow bowl until smooth.
  • Quickly dip each bread roll into the egg mixture, turning gently so the outside is evenly coated. Avoid soaking the bread for too long.
  • Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Place the rolls seam-side down and cook, turning frequently, until golden brown on all sides.
  • Mix the finishing sugar and cinnamon together. Roll the warm French toast rolls in the cinnamon sugar until lightly coated.
  • Serve immediately with maple syrup and fresh berries, if desired.

Notes

 
  • Use soft, fresh sandwich bread so the slices roll without cracking.
  • Do not oversoak the bread in the egg mixture; a quick dip gives the rolls a golden exterior without making them soggy.
  • Keep the skillet over medium heat to prevent the butter and bread from burning.
  • For extra richness, use full-fat cream cheese and whole milk.
  • Serve warm for the best texture and flavor.
