  1. Trim the crust from the bread and flatten it out with a rolling pin.
  2. Place about a teaspoon or 2 of your chosen filling an inch from one end of the bread spread out in a strip. Roll the bread up and repeat until they’re all filled.

3. In a shallow bowl whisk the eggs and milk until well combined.
4. In a separate bowl mix the sugar with the cinnamon.
5. In a skillet set over medium heat melt a tablespoon of butter.
6. Add the rolls to the egg turning to coat on all sides then place them in the pan seam side down. Cook in batches until golden brown, turning them to cook and brown on all sides. Add butter to the pan as needed.

Notes

✔️ If you don’t like the taste of cinnamon, just omit it. Instead just roll the rolls in powdered sugar.
✔️ This tastes best when eaten warm.
✔️ I used plain cream as one of the filling. But i felt that is not a good choice. The reason being that when you warm it, it melts and doesn’t taste good. So cream for this is a ‘No’ ‘No’ for me.
