Cinnamon Cheese Roll Ups

These are great little treats to serve in the morning with a cup of coffee or tea. These are quick and very easy to put together. They are also great as an appetizer. If you like, you can take your favorite preserves placed in an decorating bag and pipe a strip of preserves over the filling. Very delicious!
