Ingredients
- 1 can of cinnamon rolls (8-12 rolls, depending on the size of the baking dish)
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
- 1/4 cup maple syrup (optional, for added sweetness)
- Icing/glaze (usually included with the cinnamon rolls or homemade)
How to Make ?
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Prepare the Cinnamon Rolls: Cut each cinnamon roll into quarters and arrange them in the baking dish.
- Make the French Toast Custard: In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt. Pour this mixture evenly over the cinnamon rolls in the baking dish. Let it sit for about 10 minutes, allowing the rolls to soak up the custard.
- Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-40 minutes or until the top is golden brown and set.
- Add Glaze: Once baked, drizzle the icing (or homemade glaze) over the top while the dish is still warm.
- Serve: Serve warm and enjoy with additional syrup, berries, or whipped cream if desired.
