Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Using a rolling pin, flatten each bread slice until thin and flat.
- In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and sugar.
Cooking
- Place a tablespoon of butter in a skillet over medium heat and let it melt completely.
- Dip each bread slice in the egg mixture, ensuring it's fully coated and let excess drip off.
- Roll up each bread slice tightly to form a roll and place seam side down in the skillet.
- Cook the rolls until all sides are golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.
- Transfer the cooked rolls to the prepared baking sheet, seam side down.
- Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes until slightly crispy and golden brown.
Glazing
- In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and milk to make the glaze.
- Drizzle the glaze over the warm French toast rolls before serving.
Notes
Serve with fresh seasonal fruits, crispy bacon, or sausage links. Avoid overcrowding the skillet for optimal crispiness.
