Cinnamon Cream Roll-ups

Trisha W's Note:

A teacher I taught with brought these to the teacher's lounge once and we all loved them. I got the recipe from her. When ever I take these some place they are so-o-o-o much enjoyed that I am asked to bring them again the next time. This has happened repeatedly with two different groups with which I have regular meetings.

• Total Time: 40 mins
• Prep Time: 21 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 10

• 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese , softened
• 1 egg yolk
• 1 ¼ cups granulated sugar (divided)
• 1 loaf sandwich bread , crusts removed (I buy the crustless loaf - saves time)

• ½ cup butter or ½ cup margarine , melted

Directions:

1. In a small mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, egg yolk and 1/4 C sugar; mix well.
2. Flatten bread slices with a rolling pin.
3. Spread cream cheese over each slice to within 1/2 inch of edges.
4. Roll up diagonally from point to point.
5. In a shallow bowl, combine the cinnamon and 1 C sugar.
6. Dip roll-ups in the melted butter, then in cinnamon-sugar mixture.
7. Place in an ungreased 15x10x1 inch baking pan.
8. Bake at 350 degrees for 16-19 minutes or until lightly browned.
9. Remove to wire racks to cool.

These are very tasty! I used the crustless bread, which made making this recipe a breeze. I was being very skimpy on spreading the cream cheese mixture at first because I thought that surely there wasn't enough mixture to go on all the bread pieces. Well, I was wrong and went back and slathered it on each piece! Delicious! I did expect these to be crispy, almost like they would be if you fried them, but they never did get that way completely. They had a thin crispy layer on the outside and the rest was soft and yummy! My kids devoured these!

I took this to our Christmas breakfast at the school where I teach and it was a hit. I had only one left, and it was quickly eaten by my son when I got home. And now I have to make another recipe so he has some to eat. Very good!
