3
tbsp
Nutella
or filling of choice
2
large
eggs
3
tbsp
milk
1/3
cup
granulated sugar
1
tsp

2

Instructions
Trim the crusts off the bread. Flatten each slice with a rolling pin until thin.
Spread about a heaping teaspoon of your chosen filling in the center of each slice, leaving a ½-inch border. Roll the bread up tightly.
In a shallow bowl, whisk the eggs and milk together until smooth.
In another shallow bowl, combine the sugar and cinnamon.
Heat a griddle or large skillet over medium heat. Melt 1 tablespoon of butter.
Dip each roll in the egg mixture, coating all sides, then place seam-side down on the hot griddle.
Cook for 1-2 minutes per side, until golden brown. Add more butter to the pan for the second batch.
Once cooked, immediately roll each hot roll in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until coated.
Serve warm or pack in a lunchbox. A small drizzle of maple syrup is optional.
