Instructions
Make the Filling
In a small bowl, combine the cream cheese, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Stir until the mixture is smooth and evenly blended.
Assemble the Roll-Ups
Flatten each slice of bread using a rolling pin. Spread a thin, even layer of the cream cheese mixture over the bread, then roll each slice up tightly and set aside.
Prepare the Egg Mixture
In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and vanilla extract until fully combined.
Cook the Roll-Ups
Dip each roll-up into the egg mixture, making sure all sides are coated. Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the roll-ups, turning carefully, until they are golden brown and crisp on all sides.
Prepare the Glaze
In a small bowl, mix the powdered sugar with the milk until smooth and pourable.
Serve
Drizzle the glaze over the warm roll-ups and serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
