Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup mascarpone cheese
- 1 tbsp powdered sugar (plus extra for dusting)
- 1 tbsp butter (for frying)
- Maple syrup (for serving)
Instructions
- Prepare the egg wash: In a shallow bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon.
- Make the mascarpone filling: In a small bowl, mix mascarpone cheese with powdered sugar until smooth and creamy.
- Heat the skillet: Place a skillet over medium heat and add butter to grease the pan.
- Dip and fry: Dip each tortilla into the egg wash, ensuring both sides are coated, then place them in the skillet. Fry for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and slightly crispy.
- Assemble the stack: Remove the tortillas from the skillet and spread a layer of the cinnamon mascarpone filling on top of one tortilla. Place another tortilla on top and repeat the process, layering as you go.
- Finish & serve: Once all tortillas are stacked, dust with powdered sugar and drizzle with maple syrup. Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
- For extra flavor, add a pinch of nutmeg to the egg wash.
- Substitute mascarpone with cream cheese for a tangier filling.
- Use whole wheat tortillas for a healthier alternative.
