🥐 Cinnamon Roll French Toast Roll-Ups 🍞

Treat your mornings to a swirl of sweetness with these delectable cinnamon-infused delights—perfect for making any breakfast special!

🍽️ Ingredients 🍽️
1. For the Cream Cheese Icing:
   - 1-1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
   - 1/2 cup cream cheese, room temperature
   - 1/4 cup confectioners’ sugar

2. For the French Toast Mixture:
   - 2 eggs
   - 1/4 cup milk
   - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

3. For the Coating:
   - 1/4 cup granulated sugar
   - 1 teaspoon cinnamon

4. For the Cinnamon Butter and Bread:
   - 1/2 cup + 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
   - 1/4 cup light brown sugar
   - 1 tablespoon cinnamon
   - 8 slices thick, soft bread (crusts removed)

🧑‍🍳 Directions 🧑‍🍳
1. Prepare the Cinnamon Butter: In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup softened butter, light brown sugar, and cinnamon. Mix well.
   
2. Ready the Bread: Remove the crusts from the bread. Use a rolling pin to flatten each slice into a thin sheet. Spread a layer of the cinnamon butter mixture on each slice, then roll tightly into a log.

3. Mix the French Toast Mixture: In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, and vanilla extract.

4. Dip and Cook: Quickly dip each roll into the egg mixture, coating it entirely but not soaking. Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter in a skillet over medium heat. Fry the rolls until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side.

5. Coat the Rolls: Combine granulated sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Roll the fried rolls in this mixture to coat evenly.

6. Prepare the Cream Cheese Icing: In a bowl, blend the softened butter, cream cheese, and confectioners’ sugar until smooth. Place the icing in a piping bag for drizzling, or serve alongside as a dip.
