Ingredients

  • 8 slices white bread
  • Cajeta, dulce de leche, nutella, almond or peanut butter, or any preserves
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 cup real milk
  • 1/8 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon

Method

  • Trim the crust from the bread. Flatten the slices slightly with a rolling pin. In the center of each bread slice, add about 1 teaspoon of the filling of your choice and spread.
  • Roll the bread and the mixture like a cigar or a rolled taco; set aside until you finish all of the slices.
  • In a bowl, mix the egg, milk, vanilla, and salt, and whisk until well combined. In a separate bowl, mix the sugar with the cinnamon.
  • Set a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the butter.
  • Soak the bread rolls in the milk mixture until fully coated. Add them to the hot pan, which should have the butter already melted. Cook the rolls until they're golden brown, flipping a few times as they cook to brown on all sides. Toss each roll in the sugar and cinnamon mixture. Serve warm.
