Specialty Recipe

Zesty Cinnamon Roll-ups

Ingredients

1 loaf thin sliced sandwich bread

One 8-ounce package cream cheese, softened

1 egg yolk

1/4 cup sugar

1 to 2 teaspoons grated orange zest

1/2 cup margarine or butter, melted

3/4 cup brown sugar, firmly packed

1 to 2 teaspoons cinnamon

Mix the softened cream cheese, egg yolk, sugar and orange rind. Remove the crusts from the bread slices. Flatten a slice with rolling pin and spread with a spoonful of the cream cheese mixture. Roll up and seal edges by pinching together. Set aside with the sealed side down and continue until all slices are done. (Save the crusts for another use). Mix together the brown sugar and cinnamon in a shallow bowl and place the melted margarine in another shallow bowl. Cut each bread roll into two pieces. Roll each in the melted margarine and then in the sugar mixture. Place on a greased cookie sheet. (This is a messy process but it can be done ahead of time. They can be frozen at this point too). Bake the rolls in a preheated 350 degrees oven for 15 to 20 minutes. Remove and cool slightly but serve warm if possible. Delicious served with slices of a firm, slightly tart apple.

Serves: 6 to 8.
