Cheese Blintzes and preschoolers

This is a great recipe to make with kids, especially preschoolers!  Lots of fun tasks for them to help with and they love eating the end result.  It's not the healthiest recipe, but it is fun. :)

The recipe was passed to us from our dear Swedish Mor-Mor.  Enjoy!

1 loaf white bread, cut off crusts

8oz cream cheese
1 egg yolk
1/2 c. sugar

Beat the above together in a mixer.

1. Grease a 9x13 pan
2. With a rolling pin, roll the bread very thin.
3.  Spread bread with some of cheese mixture.
