Cinnamon French Toast Rollups in 18 Minutes

Instructions:

1. Trim the crusts from all 12 slices of white bread. Use a rolling pin to flatten each slice until it is less than 1/8th inch thick.
2. In a small bowl, combine softened butter, 1/4 cup sugar, and 1 tbsp cinnamon to create a paste.
3. Spread a thin layer of the cinnamon-butter paste over each flattened bread slice. Roll the bread up tightly into a cigar shape, pressing the seam down firmly to seal.
4. In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and sea salt until well combined.
5. Briefly roll each bread cylinder through the egg mixture, ensuring it is coated but not oversaturated. Dip for exactly 2 seconds to avoid over saturation.
6. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Place the rollups in the pan seam-side down and cook for 2 mins per side until golden and fragrant.
7. Remove from heat and immediately roll each hot cylinder in the cinnamon sugar finishing dust until fully coated.
