Step-by-Step Instructions
Making Cinnamon Swirl French Toast Roll-Ups is as easy as pie—well, maybe easier! First, I take my slices of bread and gently flatten them with a rolling pin. This step creates a canvas for all the delicious fillings, and I find that it helps the roll-ups to hold their shape better once cooked. Then, I mix together the sugar and cinnamon in a bowl; this will be my sweet sprinkle for the roll-ups. Now, spread a thin layer of softened cream cheese over each slice, then sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture right on top. I make sure to leave a little space around the edges.
