Recipe: French Toast Roll-Ups [edit]

Step 1

In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese, egg yolk, and 1/4 cup sugar until smooth; set aside.

Step 2

Cut the crust off each slice of bread then roll out each slice with a rolling pin. Spread the cheese mixture over the bread, distributing evenly. Roll up each slice jelly roll-style and place seam-side down on a baking sheet.

Step 3

In a shallow dish, mix the remaining 3/4 cup sugar and the cinnamon. Brush the butter over the roll-ups then roll them in the cinnamon-sugar mixture, until completely coated. Repeat with the remaining roll-ups, placing them on the baking sheet after coating.

Step 4

Cover and freeze for at least 2 hours, or up to 2 months.

Step 5

Just before serving, preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Bake the roll-ups for 10 to 12 minutes, or until golden brown.
