Notes and Tips:
Use high-quality bread that's soft and fresh.
Let the bread slices sit for a minute or two after you coat them with the egg mixture to allow the bread to absorb the liquid.
Roll the bread slices tightly to prevent filling from escaping during baking.
If you want a crisper exterior, broil for an additional 1-2 minutes after baking.
Serve warm with maple syrup, whipped cream, or fresh fruit.
