Instructions:
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Begin by cutting the crust off the bread. You may not use the entire loaf, so cut off the crust in groups. |
| 2 | In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, sugar, and egg yolks until well blended. This will be your delicious filling. |
| 3 | Take each slice of bread and spread a generous amount of the cream cheese mixture onto it. Roll up each slice jellyroll style. |
| 4 | Once all the bread slices are rolled, cut them into thirds to create bite-sized pieces. |
| 5 | In a shallow bowl, melt the butter. In another shallow bowl, combine the remaining sugar and cinnamon to create a sweet coating for the bites. |
| 6 | Dip each piece of rolled bread into the melted butter, ensuring it’s fully coated. Then, roll the butter-coated bread in the cinnamon sugar mixture until it’s evenly coated. |
| 7 | Place the coated bread pieces in a resealable plastic bag and freeze them until firm. |
| 8 | When you’re ready to enjoy these delightful treats, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place as many frozen pieces as you desire on a baking sheet. |
| 9 | Bake the frozen bites in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes, or until they are golden brown and heated through. |
| 10 | Serve your Cream Cheese Sweet Bites warm from the oven, accompanied by a bowl of sour cream for dipping. The tanginess of the sour cream perfectly complements the sweetness of the bites. |
| 11 | For an added crunch and nutty flavor, consider sprinkling chopped pecans on the bread slices before rolling them up. This optional step takes these bites to the next level of deliciousness! |
Whether you’re hosting a brunch, entertaining guests, or simply treating yourself, these Cream Cheese Sweet Bites are sure to be a hit. With their creamy filling, sweet coating, and irresistible flavor, they’ll disappear quickly from your buffet table.
