Cinnamon Sugar Cheesecake Roll-Ups

Ingredients

2 slices whole grain bread

2 Tbsp light cream cheese, softened

1 Tbsp icing sugar

1 Tbsp butter, melted

2 tsp sugar

1/4 tsp cinnamon

Directions

Preheat toaster oven to 350. (Can also be made in a regular oven) Line small, flat oven safe dish with parchment paper, set aside. 

Cut off bread crusts. Using a rolling pin or heavy glass, roll bread out so it is thin.

In a small bowl, combine cream cheese and icing sugar until well mixed. Spread evenly on 2 slices of bread.

Roll up, jelly roll style, gently pressing to seal seam. 

Using a pastry or basting brush, brush all over with melted butter. 

In a small dish, combine sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle evenly over the bread that has been brushed with the melted butter. Place on prepared baking tray, seam side down.

Bake for approx 7 minutes, gently flip over, and bake 7 minutes more. 

Remove from oven and let sit for 2 - 3 minutes. Eat as is or slice in half and serve. (Be careful, filling will be hot!)

Who knew boring old bread could be transformed into something so decadent? I imagine making a sundae out of this by topping with a scoop of frozen yogurt and some caramel sauce. Pretty sure that would ruin me entirely for ever eating toast "the old way" ever again. 

Oh well...it's a risk I'm willing to take.
