• To prevent tears when rolling, gently roll the bread flat without pressing too hard.

Can I prepare these in advance?

Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

Roll-Ups

• 8 slices white bread
• 8 tablespoons Cajeta Mexican caramel sauce

Batter

• 2 large eggs
• 3 tablespoons milk
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Cooking & Coating

• 3 tablespoons butter
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon cinnamon

Instructions

1. Prepare the Bread: Cut the crusts off each slice of white bread, then use a rolling pin to flatten each slice evenly, making it easier to roll up with the filling.
2. Add the Filling and Roll: Spread a tablespoon of Cajeta Mexican caramel sauce evenly over each flattened bread slice. Carefully roll each slice up tightly and set aside.
3. Make the Egg Mixture: In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and vanilla extract until fully combined.
4. Melt Butter: Heat a large sauté pan over medium heat and melt the butter, ensuring it coats the bottom of the pan.
5. Dip the Rolls: Dip each caramel-filled bread roll into the egg mixture, turning to coat every side thoroughly.
6. Cook the Rolls: Place the coated rolls in the hot butter and cook, turning frequently to brown all sides evenly until golden and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes.
7. Prepare Cinnamon Sugar: While the rolls cook, mix the granulated sugar and cinnamon together in a small bowl.
8. Coat with Cinnamon Sugar: Remove the cooked rolls from the pan, then roll each one in the cinnamon sugar mixture until evenly coated.
9. Serve and Enjoy: Serve the warm French toast roll-ups immediately for a deliciously sweet breakfast or snack.

Notes

• Use white sandwich bread for best results; flattening the bread helps prevent tearing when rolling.
• Cajeta Mexican caramel sauce can be substituted with dulce de leche or any caramel spread if unavailable.
• Make sure to cook the rolls on medium heat to avoid burning the sugar coating.
• For an added touch, serve with fresh fruit or a drizzle of maple syrup.
• These roll-ups are best enjoyed fresh but can be reheated gently in a pan or microwave.
