Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 slices White or whole wheat bread
- 1 cup Ricotta cheese
- 4 tablespoons Cream cheese, softened
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 2 Eggs
- 1 cup Milk
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- Maple syrup or fruit preserves (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Lay the slices of bread on a flat surface and use a rolling pin to flatten each one completely.
In a mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, cream cheese, vanilla extract, and powdered sugar. Mix until smooth and creamy.
Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the cheese mixture onto one end of each flattened bread slice. Roll the bread tightly around the filling to form a log shape. Repeat for all slices.
In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, and ground cinnamon to create the egg mixture.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and melt 1 tablespoon of butter.
Dip each bread roll into the egg mixture, ensuring all sides are coated, and place them seam-side down in the skillet.
Cook the rolls for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crisp. Add more butter to the skillet as needed.
Transfer the cooked rolls to a plate. Dust with additional powdered sugar, if desired.
Serve warm with maple syrup or fruit preserves on the side for dipping.
