French Toast Roll-ups

French Toast Roll-Ups

1 package (8 ounces ) cream cheese, softened
1 egg yolk
1 cup sugar, divided
24 slices white sandwich bread
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
3 tablespoons butter, melted

In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese, egg yolk, and ¼ cup sugar unt5il smooth; set aside.
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. In a shallow dish, mix the remaining ¾ cup sugar and 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. Cover and freeze for at least 2 hours, or up to 2 months. Just before serving, preheat the oven to 400F. Bake the roll-ups for 12 to 16 minutes, or until golden brown.
