Classic Sugar Snails
These delightful breakfast treats start with soft white bread, gently flattened and spread with a sweet, creamy cream cheese filling. The bread is rolled up into tight spirals—like little snails—then brushed with melted butter, coated in cinnamon sugar, and baked until warm, golden, and irresistible.

📝 Ingredients
| Ingredient | Amount |
|---|---|
| White sandwich bread | 1 loaf |

| Granulated sugar, divided | ¾ cup |
| Ground cinnamon | 1½ teaspoons |

👩🍳 Instructions
Step 1: Preheat and Prep
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly butter a 9×13-inch baking dish and set aside.
Step 2: Prepare the Bread
Remove and discard the crusts from each slice of bread (or save them for another use).
Using a rolling pin, flatten each slice until thin.
Step 3: Make the Filling
In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
Add the egg and ¼ cup of the sugar, mixing until fully blended.
Step 4: Assemble the Rolls
Spread a thin, even layer of the cream cheese mixture onto each slice of bread.
Roll each slice up tightly, then cut into halves or thirds.
Arrange the rolls seam-side down in the prepared baking dish.
Step 5: Top and Bake
Brush the rolls generously with melted butter.
Combine the remaining ½ cup sugar with the cinnamon and sprinkle evenly over the rolls.
Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until lightly golden and warmed through.
