I haven’t been cooking these past few weeks because our schedule has been super hectic. But it’s the holidays! C’mon... cooking is a must. Plus I am in love with my kitchen and need to put it to good use. Lol.

I found this recipe and I decided to give it a test drive before Christmas Day festivities. My sister and I had so much fun making it together... and the whole family enjoyed every last bite! If you’re looking to get creative with breakfast on Christmas Day, try this WonderBread Rolled French Toast recipe! Click the link on my bio to get the full recipe on my blog.

Ingredients:
- 36 slices Wonder® Classic White Bread
- 12 oz softened cream cheese
- 1/3 c granulated sugar, divided, plus 2 tbsp
- 1 tbsp lemon zest
- 1⁄4 c blueberry preserves (or jam)
- 1⁄4 c strawberry preserves (or jam)
- 1⁄4 c raspberry preserves (or jam)
- 3⁄4 c heavy cream
- 1 c whole milk
- 1⁄2 c light brown sugar
- 3 eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1⁄4 tsp ground nutmeg
- 5 tsp ground cinnamon, divided

Follow These Steps:

1. Preheat the oven to 350° F. Stack two pieces of bread on top of each other and use a rolling pin to flatten. Trim the crusts, then separate the individual slices. Repeat with the remaining bread.

2. In a medium bowl, combine the cream cheese, 1/3 cup granulated sugar, and lemon zest. Mix well. In a separate bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, milk, brown sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, nutmeg, and 2 tsp of cinnamon. Set aside.

3. Use a spatula to spread about 2 tsp of cream cheese mixture across a slice of flattened bread. Top with 1 tsp of strawberry preserves. Repeat with remaining bread for blueberry and raspberry preserves.

4. Tightly roll each slice of bread and place seam-side down so they stay closed.

5. In a small bowl, mix together 2 remaining tbsp of granulated sugar and remaining 3 tsp of cinnamon.

6. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set a 3-inch wide bowl in the center of the pan. Dip each roll up in the custard, allowing any excess to drip off. Arrange 12 roll-ups around the bowl on the prepared baking sheet. Brush all over with custard and sprinkle with the cinnamon sugar. Repeat with remaining roll ups, then remove bowl from center of the ring.

7. Bake Rolled French Toast Wreath for 22-25 minutes until golden brown. Remove from oven, then replace bowl in center of wreath and fill with maple syrup. Enjoy!
