In a shallow dish, combine 4 large eggs, 1 cup of milk, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, and 2 tablespoons of sugar. Whisk together until smooth.

Take 8 slices of your chosen bread and use a rolling pin to gently flatten each slice until it becomes pliable and thin.

Spread about 1-2 tablespoons of cream cheese or your preferred filling over each flattened slice, leaving a small border around the edges.

Starting from one end, tightly roll each slice of bread into a cylinder and dip the outside of each cylinder into the prepared custard.

Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat and add 2 tablespoons of butter. Cook the roll-ups seam side down for about 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown.

Once cooked, remove from the pan and transfer to a serving plate. Drizzle with maple syrup and sprinkle with powdered sugar if desired.
