Ingredients:

To start, you’ll need the following ingredients:

• 1 tablespoon butter, melted (for greasing)
• A 12 pack of Hawaiian sweet rolls (e.g., King’s brand)
• ⅓ cup butter, melted (for the filling)
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• ½ tablespoon ground cinnamon
• ⅛ teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional, but recommended for an extra hint of warmth)
• 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 1 large egg, beaten
• 3 tablespoons granulated sugar

These simple yet flavorful ingredients come together to create a treat that’s both comforting and indulgent.

Directions:

1. Prep the Oven and Baking Dish:
   • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Use 1 tablespoon of melted butter to grease a 9×13-inch baking dish thoroughly.
2. Prepare the Sweet Rolls:
   • Place the sweet rolls into the prepared dish. Make an X cut on each roll about two-thirds of the way through. This will create a pocket for the delicious filling.
3. Mix the Cinnamon Butter:
   • In a bowl, combine ⅓ cup melted butter with the brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Drizzle this fragrant mixture over the rolls, ensuring each one gets a generous amount.
4. Create the Cream Cheese Filling:
   • In a separate bowl, blend the softened cream cheese with granulated sugar until the mixture is smooth. Then, gently fold in the beaten egg until well incorporated.
5. Fill the Rolls:
   • Using a piping bag (or a makeshift one from a zip-top bag with a corner cut off), carefully fill each roll with the cream cheese mixture. If you don’t have a piping bag, a spoon can work in a pinch, though it might be a bit messier.
6. Bake to Perfection:
   • Place the dish in the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and the filling has set. If you’re particular about food safety, the filling should reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C), which can be checked with a food thermometer.
7. Cool and Serve:
   • Let the rolls cool slightly in the dish as the filling will be quite hot. This resting period allows the flavors to meld beautifully.
