Ingredients

Scale

Filling

  • 2/3 cup canned plain pumpkin
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar (from the divided amount)
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon

Bread Rolls

  • 12 slices white sandwich bread, crusts removed

Egg Mixture

  • 2 eggs
  • 4 tablespoons milk
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar (remaining from the divided amount)

For Cooking

  • Butter (for coating skillet)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Filling: In a medium bowl, combine the canned plain pumpkin, 1/3 cup granulated sugar, pumpkin pie spice, and cinnamon. Mix well until smooth and evenly blended. Set aside.
  2. Prepare the Bread: Remove crusts from each slice of white sandwich bread using a sharp knife. Using a rolling pin, flatten each slice of bread to make it easier to roll.
  3. Fill and Roll: Spread about one tablespoon of the pumpkin mixture onto each flattened bread slice. Roll the bread tightly to form a neat cylinder, pressing the edges together gently to seal.
  4. Mix the Egg Custard: In a shallow dish or bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and remaining 1/3 cup granulated sugar until fully combined and slightly frothy.
  5. Dip the Roll-Ups: Preheat a skillet over medium heat and lightly coat it with butter. Dip each roll-up into the egg mixture, turning to coat all sides evenly before placing them seam side down in the skillet.
  6. Cook Until Golden: Cook the roll-ups for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Add more butter to the skillet as needed to prevent sticking and promote even browning.
  7. Serve Warm: Remove roll-ups from the skillet and serve immediately. They can be enjoyed plain or dusted with powdered sugar, drizzled with maple syrup, or paired with whipped cream for extra indulgence.

Notes

  • For easier rolling, use fresh bread slices and flatten thoroughly with a rolling pin.
  • Feel free to use whole wheat or gluten-free bread as an alternative if desired.
  • Adjust sugar levels according to your sweetness preference.
  • Serve with your favorite breakfast syrup or fruit preserves for added flavor.
  • These roll-ups can be prepared ahead of time and warmed in the oven or toaster before serving.
