My good friend Silver posted this recipe on her site in our WP community this morning, and I am just dying to try it. I have no doubt that is going to be absolutely scrumptious, so I am sharing the recipe here in advance.
“CINNAMOON ” ROLL-UPS
Ingredients
1 8-ounce package cream cheese, softened
1 large egg yolk
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1/8 teaspoon salt
10 slices soft bread of your choice
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, melted
Instructions
1 – Preheat oven to 375 degrees F and line a baking sheet with a piece of parchment paper.
2 – Roll bread slices with a rolling pin to flatten slightly, and trim off the crusts with a sharp knife or kitchen scissors.
3 – Beat the softened cream cheese, egg yolk, sugar, vanilla and salt in a medium bowl until combined.
4 – Divide the mixture among the bread slices and spread evenly. Roll up slices tightly jelly-roll style, pressing on the edges to seal.
5 – Combine the brown sugar, cinnamon and salt in a shallow bowl. Generously brush each roll on all sides with the melted butter and roll in the brown sugar mix. Arrange the roll ups on the prepared baking sheet.
6 – Bake until lightly browned and hot, about 10 minutes. Cool on the pan for 5 minutes and serve. Makes about 10 pieces.
Tips
1. This recipe can easily be doubled.
2. These roll ups freeze really well. Simply freeze them before baking, on the parchment lined baking sheet. Transfer them to a zip lock bag when they’re frozen.
3. To reheat, arrange on a parchment lined baking sheet and cook at 375 degrees F until lightly browned and hot, about 20 minutes.
4. Store any leftovers tightly wrapped in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
