- Cut the guava paste into slices that are about ¼ thick. Lay the guava on the bottom of the bread slices on top of the cream cheese.
- Roll everything up together until you have 12 roll-ups.
- Heat a skillet over medium low heat. (You don't want these to brown too quickly or the inside won't get gooey enough.)
- While the skillet is heating, mix together the eggs, milk and vanilla extract in a small dish.
- Dip each roll-up into the egg mixture then add to the hot skillet and cook each side until browned. (about 2 minutes per side).
- Mix together the cinnamon and sugar in a small bowl.
- Once the roll-ups are done cooking, roll each one in the cinnamon sugar mixture then serve warm.
