French Toast Roll-Ups

 
8 slices sandwich bread (I used Grandma Sycamores)
softened cream cheese, diced strawberries, Nutella, or strawberry jam, etc
2 eggs
3 tablespoons milk
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1 heaping teaspoon ground cinnamon
butter, for greasing the pan
syrup

*Cut the crust from each slice of bread (optional) and flatten it out with a rolling pin.
*Place about 1-2 teaspoons of your chosen filling 1 inch from one end of the bread in a strip.
*Roll the bread up tightly and repeat with the remaining pieces of bread.
*In a shallow bowl whisk the eggs and milk until well combined.
*In a separate shallow bowl mix the sugar with the cinnamon.
*Heat a skillet set 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. 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.
*You can serve with syrup or they're perfectly good all by themselves.
*I made them with strawberry jam for the filling and we ate them without syrup. My family loved it and are asking me to make them again!
