Ingredients
Instructions
- Spray a 9 x 13-inch baking pan with cooking spray.
- Place one package of crescent rolls in the bottom of the prepared pan, unrolled or slightly pressed to cover the bottom.
- Spread the cheese mixture over the first layer of rolls.
- Layer the second package of crescent rolls on top of the cheese layer.
- In a small bowl, fork whip the egg white and brush it over the top of the layered rolls.
- Bake until the rolls are puffy and lightly browned on top, about 20-25 minutes.
Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier filling, allow the cream cheese to soften at room temperature before mixing with sugar, vanilla, and lemon juice. If you're out of lemon juice, a splash of vinegar can work as a substitute. You can also try adding a pinch of cinnamon to the cheese mixture for a hint of warmth, reminiscent of treats like Mrs. F.L.B. Flood'S Cinnamon Buns.
Serving Suggestions
These Brunch Rolls are fantastic as a standalone dish for brunch or paired with fresh fruit and a light salad. They also go well with a side of coffee or tea. For an extra treat, serve alongside Homemade Almond Joys or Peanut Butter Honey Delites for a delightful brunch spread.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover Brunch Rolls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply place them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes until warmed through. This helps maintain their flaky texture and prevents them from becoming soggy.
