Ingredients Notes For Cinnamon Roll French Toast Rolls:

- Vanilla Extract: Adds flavor to the French toast batter.
- Powdered Sugar: For dusting over the finished rolls.
- Optional Toppings: Syrup, whipped cream, or a drizzle of cream cheese frosting for serving.
Recipe Steps:
- Prepare the Bread:
- Flatten each slice of bread with a rolling pin to make it easier to roll.
- Spread and Sprinkle:
- Spread a thin layer of softened butter on each slice of bread. Mix cinnamon and sugar together in a small bowl, then sprinkle generously over the buttered bread.
- Roll the Bread:
- Starting from one edge, roll each slice of bread tightly to form a roll. Press lightly to seal the edge.
- Make the French Toast Batter:
- In a shallow dish, whisk together eggs, milk, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Dip and Cook:
- Heat a bit of butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Dip each roll in the egg mixture, ensuring it is fully coated. Place the rolls seam side down in the skillet.
- Cook, turning occasionally, until all sides are golden brown and the rolls are cooked through, about 2-3 minutes per side.
- Serve:
- Dust the cooked rolls with powdered sugar and serve immediately. Optionally, drizzle with syrup, whipped cream, or cream cheese frosting for extra indulgence.
Storage Options:
- Refrigerate: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
