"This is so good. You can make it ahead of time and then pop it in the oven on Christmas morning. My kids love it year round. It is always a big hit at any breakfast or brunch."

We added strawberry or peach jam in with the cream cheese mixture before we rolled up the bread. Absolutely fabulous and my four children have requested it become a regular in our "brunch" routine. Thank you so much for submitting the recipe! -
sorry,the kids didn't really like these -
Very good...made two batches. BUT I found after mixing the first 3 ingredients that the mixture was a little loose to work with....any helpful suggestions -
My kids loved these!! I just made them again and this time I sprinkled the cinnamon sugar mixture on top instead of rolling them in it. I may get some spray butter next time and give that a try as well. I may try using soft tofu for some of the cream cheese too. This one is definitely a keeper for our breakfast for dinner nights. -
Brilliant! These are so good. Had them Christmas brekkie with Baileys coffee. Even better after they had crisped up a bit and still good cold three days later (we made a lot). Probably not too good if you have cardio issues!

Awesome treat! I used butter instead of margarine, the rest as directed. Great for coffee breaks, dessert, a late night treat, or a rich breakfast. Makes a good quantity too, so it can last a while (IF you can resist the temptation). -
These tasted like a pastry I ate as a child. My husband loved them and wouldn't let me throw out the left overs after Christmas brunch. I used butter instead of margarine and 1 tbsp of real vanilla extract to the cream cheese. Yum. I had to print the recipe on Christmas day for some guests.

I made this recipe for my Christmas Brunch, and received rave reviews from all. I did however change the recipe a bit. I used an entire 8oz. brick of cream cheese instead of only 2oz., and I also added sugar free Apricot Preserves. The extra filling didn't overwhelm the recipe at all. The dish was just very rich, creamy, and extra delicious.
