• You can experiment with different fillings, such as Nutella or cream cheese, to change up the flavor.
• If you have time, let the rolled-up bread sit for a few minutes in the egg mixture to absorb more flavor.

You can use whole wheat bread or gluten-free bread if you prefer. For a dairy-free option, replace the butter and milk with suitable substitutes like almond milk and dairy-free butter. You can also omit the brown sugar or use a sugar substitute for a lower-sugar version.
