Make the Filling:
In a bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla until smooth and fluffy.
Prepare the Bread:
Trim the crusts off each slice. Use a rolling pin to flatten each slice completely.
Fill and Roll:
Spread about 1 tablespoon of the cream cheese mixture onto each slice. Roll tightly like a cigar.
Coat in Butter:
Brush each roll lightly with melted butter. You can either bake or pan-fry:
Baking Method (Healthier):
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Arrange rolls on a lined tray and bake for 12–15 minutes or until golden brown.
Pan-Fry Method (Crispier & Indulgent):
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Cook rolls, turning occasionally, until all sides are golden and crisp.
Cinnamon Sugar Magic:
Mix cinnamon and sugar in a shallow dish. Immediately toss the hot rolls in the mixture to coat completely.
