Ingredients

Scale

4 oz cream cheese, softened
2 tbsp powdered sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
2/3 cup fresh blueberries (or thawed frozen, patted dry)
8 slices sandwich bread, crusts removed
2 large eggs
1/3 cup milk
2 tbsp granulated sugar
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
Pinch of salt
2 tbsp unsalted butter (for skillet)
Extra powdered sugar, for dusting (optional)
Maple syrup, for drizzling (optional)
More fresh blueberries, for topping (optional)

Instructions

Remove crusts from bread slices and flatten each slice with a rolling pin until about 1/8 inch thick.
In a medium bowl, blend cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Fold in blueberries.
Spread about 1 tablespoon of cream cheese filling onto each bread slice, leaving a small border. Roll up tightly.
In a shallow bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, granulated sugar, cinnamon, and salt.
Dip each roll-up into the egg mixture, coating all sides and letting excess drip off.
Heat butter in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add roll-ups without crowding and cook 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and crisp, about 8-10 minutes total.
Transfer cooked roll-ups to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess butter. Let cool for a minute.
Dust with powdered sugar, drizzle with maple syrup, and top with extra blueberries. Serve warm.

Notes

For best results, use soft sandwich bread and pat blueberries dry to avoid soggy filling. Don’t overfill the bread to prevent bursting. Keep finished roll-ups warm in a low oven if making a large batch. Variations include using gluten-free or dairy-free ingredients, adding other berries, or baking in the oven for batch cooking.
