I love traditions!!!
Our family has several.
Everybody knows who is bringing what at each holiday meal, and if that person's dish is not there, questions are asked as to why it was not prepared. Our family Christmas breakfast always includes this cream cheese breakfast dish. It is easy to make and delicious!
You will need:
(For a small casserole dish)
(Double the ingredients for a 9"x 12")
1 can Crescent Rolls
1 box softened Cream Cheese
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
1/4 cup melted butter
Cinnamon
Begin by greasing the bottom of the pan.
Spray Pam or butter will work great.
Divide the crescent dough in half and spread half to completely cover the bottom of the pan.
This may seem impossible at first, but crescent dough is very pliable and moves easily with your fingers.
Beat the softened cream cheese with a mixer and then add the sugar and vanilla.
Beat until smooth.
Spread this mixture on top of the dough.
Now, carefully place the other half of the Crescent dough on top of the mixture. This is a little tedious and requires patience. As you can see, mine did not look so great to start out with, but I just kept pulling and stretching until it covered the entire pan.
Pour the melted butter on top of the dough and spread around to cover the dough.
Now mix about 3 Tablespoons of sugar with 1 teaspoon of cinnamon. You can adjust these amounts to your taste.
Sprinkle this mixture over the top of the sugar. I sometimes add a little more cinnamon.
Now bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes or until brown. I always test the center of the dough to make sure it is not doughy before I remove the pan from the oven.
Slice into squares to serve.
This makes a very special breakfast side dish.
Our breakfast on this day included cheese eggs, ham, sliced banana, and Cream Cheese Breakfast Bake!
Leftovers can be reheated and served another day.
Enjoy!
