Ingredients
Scale
- 6 slices of thick bread (Texas toast or challah)
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 cup whole milk (or almond/oat milk)
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp nutmeg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Butter for cooking
- Toppings: maple syrup, powdered sugar, or whipped cream
Instructions
- Prepare the Filling: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, eggs, milk, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Flatten the Bread: Use a rolling pin to gently flatten each slice of bread.
- Spread the Filling: Spoon a generous amount of the pumpkin mixture onto one end of each slice, leaving space at the edges.
- Roll It Up: Starting from the filling end, roll the bread slice up, tucking in the edges to seal the filling.
- Coat the Roll-Ups: In a shallow dish, combine eggs, milk, and a sprinkle of cinnamon. Dip each roll-up in this mixture.
- Cook to Perfection: Heat a skillet over medium heat, add butter, and cook the roll-ups seam-side down for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
- Serve Warm: Enjoy the roll-ups with powdered sugar and maple syrup.
Notes
For a twist, consider adding cream cheese or chocolate chips inside. Keep the cooking temperature moderate for best results.
