1/4 cup light brown sugar
1 tbsp ground cinnamon
For the Bread:
8 slices thick, soft white bread
For the French Toast Egg Mixture:
2 large eggs
1/4 cup milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
For the Cinnamon Sugar Coating:
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 tsp ground cinnamon
For the Cream Cheese Icing:
1 1/2 tbsp unsalted butter, softened

Instructions
Step 1: Make the Cinnamon Filling & Prep the Bread
In a small bowl, combine softened butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon until creamy.
Remove crusts from the bread and flatten each slice with a rolling pin.
Spread a thin layer of cinnamon butter mixture on each slice, then roll tightly into logs.
Step 2: Prepare the Egg Dipping Mixture
In a shallow bowl, whisk eggs, milk, and vanilla extract.
Dip each roll into the mixture, coating all sides but not soaking.
Step 3: Fry the French Toast Sticks
In a nonstick skillet, melt 1–2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat.
Cook each roll, turning until golden brown and crispy on all sides (2–3 minutes per side). Remove and set aside.
Step 4: Coat in Cinnamon Sugar
Mix granulated sugar and ground cinnamon in a bowl.
Roll the hot French toast sticks in the mixture until well coated.
Step 5: Make the Cream Cheese Icing
In a bowl, beat together softened butter, cream cheese, and powdered sugar until smooth.
Transfer to a piping bag or serve in a small bowl for dipping.
Step 6: Serve & Enjoy
Serve warm! Drizzle icing on top or dip each cinnamon roll French toast stick into the luscious cream cheese frosting for the ultimate breakfast dessert experience.
