  • 1 tsp cinnamon Fresh cinnamon is a must for the best aroma.
  • 2 large eggs Opt for cage-free if you prefer.

  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the softened butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon until combined. Spread generously onto each slice.
  3. Roll each slice tightly into a log, ensuring the filling stays inside.
  4. In a bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until frothy.
  5. Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and melt a little butter in the pan.
  6. Dip each roll-up into the egg mixture, ensuring it’s fully coated, then cook for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown.
  7. Roll the cooked roll-ups in a mixture of granulated sugar and cinnamon.

Notes

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. You can assemble the roll-ups the night before and keep them in the fridge. If they burst open while cooking, press them down gently with a spatula.
