French Toast Roll-Ups

This could be a rich breakfast or, very easily, a dessert. We have made this recipe twice so far and it's been great both times. You can't really go wrong with French Toast, right? I don't think it would keep well, so this definitely isn't a recipe I'd recommend for a party or anything other than a Saturday morning stay-at-home breakfast with the family.

• 8 slices white sandwich bread
• softened cream cheese, diced strawberries, sliced banana or Nutella
• 2 eggs
• 3 Tbsp milk
• 1/3 cup granulated sugar
• 1 heaping Tsp ground cinnamon
• butter, for greasing the pan

Cut the crust from each slice of bread and flatten it out with a rolling pin. Place 1-2 teaspoons of your chosen filling 1-inch from one end of the bread in a stripe. Roll the bread up tightly and repeat with the remaining pieces of bread. 

In a shallow bowl, whisk the egg and milk until well combined. In a separate shallow bowl, mix the sugar with the cinnamon. 

Heat a skillet over medium heat and melt a tablespoon of butter. Dip each bread roll in the egg mixture, coating well, and then place them in the pan, seam-side down. Cook in batches until golden brown, turning them to cook and brown on all sides, about 2 minutes per side. Add butter to the pan as needed. 

Add cooked rolls immediately from the pan to the cinnamon sugar and roll until completely covered in sugar. 

NOTES: We did strawberries and Nutella and it was amazing!
