Equipment
- 1 Cutting board
- 1 Sharp knife or kitchen scissors
- 1 Spatula
- 1 Baking sheet
- Parchment paper
- 1 Rolling Pin
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
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F and line a baking sheet with a piece of parchment paper.
- Roll bread slices with a rolling pin to flatten slightly, and trim off the crusts with a sharp knife or kitchen scissors.
- Beat the softened cream cheese, egg yolk, sugar, vanilla and salt in a medium bowl until combined.
- Divide the mixture among the bread slices and spread evenly. Roll up slices tightly jelly-roll style, pressing on the edges to seal.
- 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.
- Bake until lightly browned and hot, about 10 minutes. Cool on the pan for 5 minutes and serve. Makes about 10 pieces.
