Think cinnamon roll meets French toast. Slices of Ace® Sourdough Bistro bread are flattened, spread with a warm chai butter of cinnamon, cardamom, ginger, nutmeg and clove, then rolled tight and pan-fried until golden. Each roll-up gets tumbled in spiced sugar while still warm and finished with a tangy cream cheese icing.

Make the chai cinnamon butter: Mix the softened butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, cardamom, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves until smooth and creamy.
Prepare the bread: Remove the crusts from the sourdough slices making a rectangle shape. Flatten each slice with a rolling pin until thin and flexible.
Fill and roll: Spread the chai cinnamon butter evenly over each slice. Roll each slice tightly into a log, placing the seam underneath.
Make the French toast mixture: Whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla, cinnamon, cardamom, nutmeg, and ginger in a shallow bowl.
Make the coating: Combine the sugar, cinnamon, cardamom, and ginger in a shallow dish.
Cook the roll-ups: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly butter the pan. Quickly dip each roll-up into the egg mixture, turning to coat all sides.
Place seam-side down in the skillet and cook for 1–2 minutes per side, turning until golden brown all over. Add a little butter to the pan as needed.
Coat in spiced sugar: While the roll-ups are still warm, immediately roll them in the spiced sugar until evenly coated.
Make the cream cheese icing: Beat the softened butter and cream cheese until smooth. Add the icing sugar and vanilla and beat until creamy.
Serve: Drizzle the warm roll-ups generously with cream cheese icing and serve immediately.
