Ingredients:

• 8 slices of white bread
• 4 oz (1/2 cup) cream cheese, softened
• 1/4 cup powdered sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tbsp ground cinnamon
• 2 large eggs
• 1/4 cup milk
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 2 tbsp butter, for cooking
• Maple syrup, for serving

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Bread:
   • Remove the crusts from the slices of bread. Using a rolling pin, flatten each slice of bread.
2. Make the Filling:
   • In a small bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and 1 tsp of vanilla extract until smooth.
3. Assemble the Rolls:
   • Spread a thin layer of the cream cheese mixture onto each flattened slice of bread.
   • Roll up each slice tightly, pressing the seam to seal.
4. Cinnamon Sugar Coating:
   • In a shallow dish, mix the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon. Set aside.
5. Prepare the Egg Mixture:
   • In another shallow dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, and remaining 1 tsp of vanilla extract.
6. Coat the Rolls:
   • Dip each roll in the egg mixture, ensuring it is fully coated.
   • Roll each egg-coated bread roll in the cinnamon sugar mixture until fully covered.
7. Cook the Rolls:
   • Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and melt the butter.
   • Place the rolls seam-side down in the skillet. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.

Serve:
