Step 1

Trim the crust from the bread.

Step 2

Flatten each slice of bread out with a rolling pin.

Step 3

Place a heaping teaspoon of your filling in the middle of the bread and spread it out in an even layer, leaving a 1/2-inch border all around.

Step 4

Roll the bread up and repeat with the remaining slices.

Step 5

In a shallow bowl thoroughly whisk the eggs and milk together. In another shallow bowl, mix the sugar and cinnamon together.

Step 6

Warm a griddle (or large sauté pan) over medium heat. Once hot, melt 1 tablespoon butter.

Step 7

Coat the rolls with the egg mixture and place seam side down on the griddle. Cook for about 1-2 minutes per side, until golden brown. Add more butter to the griddle as needed for the second batch.

Step 8

Place the hot rolls into the cinnamon-sugar and roll until completely covered, gently shaking off any excess.

Step 9

Serve with a drizzle of maple syrup, if desired.
