Ingredients
  

Roll-Up & Filling Base
  • 8 slices soft brioche or white sandwich bread (crusts removed)
  • 4 oz cream cheese (softened to room temperature)
  • 2 tbsp powdered sugar
  • 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter (for skillet cooking, melted)
Custard Dip & Cinnamon Sugar Coating
  • 2 large pasture-raised eggs
  • 3 tbsp whole milk or half-and-half
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon and vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp ground Saigon cinnamon (for rolling)
Vanilla Cream Cheese Glaze
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar (sifted)
  • 2 tbsp heavy cream or milk
  • 1 tbsp pure maple syrup
  • 1/4 tsp pure vanilla extract

Method
 

Flatten & Fill Brioche
  1. Trim crusts from brioche slices. Use a rolling pin to flatten each slice gently until thin and pliable.
  2. In a small bowl, beat softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Spread 1 tablespoon across the edge of each bread slice, then roll tightly into a cylinder.
Custard Dip & Skillet Sear
  1. Whisk eggs, milk, cinnamon, and vanilla in a shallow dish. In another dish, mix granulated sugar and cinnamon for coating.
  2. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Dip each roll-up into the egg custard briefly, coating all sides.
  3. Place seam-side down in the hot skillet. Cook for 2 minutes per side, turning with tongs until deeply golden brown and crisp on all sides (5-6 minutes total).
Sugar Toss & Glaze
  1. Immediately transfer hot roll-ups into the cinnamon-sugar dish and roll until thoroughly coated in sparkling crystals.
  2. Whisk powdered sugar, cream, maple syrup, and vanilla until silky. Stack roll-ups on a platter, drizzle generously with warm glaze, and serve immediately with fresh berries.
