Ingredients

  • 10-12 slices of soft loaf bread
  • 1 8 oz pkg of cream cheese, room temperature
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 3 tablespoons sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
  • 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 stick butter
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

In a small bowl combine, cream cheese, egg yolk, 3 tbsp sugar and vanilla and stir, or mix with a mixer, till ingredients are well combined.

Gather desired amount of bread slices and cut off the crusts.
Flatten bread slices

Spread a fairly thin layer of cream cheese mixture on one side of each slice.

Roll them up being careful not to squeeze out the cream cheese mixture.

In a small bowl, combine the sugar, cinnamon and powdered sugar and stir to blend. Transfer to a plate and set aside.

Melt the butter in a glass bowl. Let cool for a minute or two.

Dip each roll in the butter until covered (do not soak) and immediately
roll each roll in the sugar cinnamon mixture and arrange each roll on a lightly butted or oiled cookie sheet or sheet pan. (I prefer to use a silicone baking sheet. Nothing sticks to that.)

Bake for 20 minutes at 350 or until slightly crispy. Do not overcook.
