Description

These Cinnamon Roll French Toast Rolls combine the flavors of classic cinnamon rolls with the comforting texture of French toast. Slices of bread are flattened, dipped in a sweet cinnamon-egg mixture, rolled up, pan-fried until golden, and then baked to a slight crisp. Finished with a sweet powdered sugar glaze, these rolls make a delightful breakfast or brunch treat that’s easy to prepare and impressively delicious.

Ingredients

Scale

For the French Toast Rolls

  • 8 slices of bread
  • 4 eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 4 tablespoons butter

For the Glaze

  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 – 3 tablespoons milk

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Flatten Bread: Using a rolling pin, flatten each bread slice until thin and flat, which helps the bread roll easily and absorb the egg mixture evenly.
  3. Make Egg Mixture: In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and sugar until fully combined and smooth.
  4. Melt Butter: Place a tablespoon of butter in a skillet over medium heat and let it melt to prepare for frying the rolls.
  5. Dip Bread: Dip each flattened bread slice thoroughly in the egg mixture, coating all sides well to ensure flavor and moisture.
  6. Roll Bread: Roll up each coated bread slice tightly to form a roll shape, securing the edges as you go.
  7. Pan-Fry Rolls: Place the rolls seam side down in the skillet with the melted butter and cook, turning occasionally, until all sides are golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.
  8. Prepare for Baking: Transfer the browned rolls seam side down onto the prepared baking sheet to keep them intact during baking.
  9. Bake: Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes until they become slightly crispy and set.
  10. Make Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and milk until smooth and pourable for drizzling.
  11. Glaze Rolls: Drizzle the prepared glaze generously over the warm French toast rolls to add sweetness and a classic finish.
  12. Serve: Serve the cinnamon roll French toast rolls warm, perfect for a comforting breakfast or brunch treat.

Notes

  • Use slightly stale bread for easier rolling and better texture.
  • You can use any bread type but white or sandwich bread works best for rolling.
  • Ensure the rolls are tightly sealed to prevent the egg mixture from leaking during cooking.
  • Butter can be substituted with cooking spray or oil for a lighter version.
  • The glaze consistency can be adjusted by adding more or less milk according to preference.
