Easy French Toast Brunch Ring

Steps

• 1

  Using an electric mixer, beat together the filling ingredients until whipped and fluffy.
• 2

  In another clean bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, vanilla, cinnamon and salt.

  
• 3

  Unroll the crescent dough sheet. Spread the cream cheese mixture over the dough, leaving a 1/4-inch border around the edges.

  
• 4

  Starting with the long side of the rectangle, roll up into a log and then pinch the edges to seal.

  
• 5

  Using a serrated knife, cut the log into 12 slices. Place the slices in a gallon-size zip-top bag or 9x13-inch glass baking pan. Pour the egg mixture over the rolls; seal the bag (or cover the pan with plastic wrap) and place in the fridge for 30 minutes or up to overnight.

  
• 6

  When ready to bake, preheat oven to 350°F and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
• 7

  Remove the pastry from the fridge and arrange the slices in a circle on the prepared cookie sheet. Brush any remaining egg mixture left in the bag over the dough. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.

  
• 8

  Serve the French toast ring warm with a dusting of powdered sugar, fresh berries and a drizzle of maple syrup, if desired. You could also add a little whipped cream too!
