Remove the crusts from the 8 slices of bread and flatten each slice with a rolling pin.

In a small bowl, mix together the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon for coating. Set aside.

In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Brush each flattened bread slice with melted butter, then roll each slice into a tight log.

Dip each rolled bread log into the egg mixture, making sure it’s fully coated.

Heat 2 tablespoons of butter in a skillet over medium heat. Fry the rolls for 2-3 minutes per side, turning occasionally until golden brown.

Remove the rolls from the skillet and immediately roll them in the cinnamon-sugar mixture to coat.

Serve the Cinnamon Roll French Toast Rolls warm with maple syrup or a dusting of powdered sugar.
