Description

Transform leftover cinnamon rolls into decadent French toast by soaking them in rich custard, then griddling until golden for a caramelized, gooey breakfast treat.


Ingredients

  • 5 leftover cinnamon rolls (baked and cooled)
  • 4 large eggs
  • ½ cup heavy cream or whole milk
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, for the skillet
  • Toppings: maple syrup and powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. Cut each leftover cinnamon roll in half horizontally and set aside.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, sugar, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon until smooth.
  3. Dip each halved cinnamon roll into the egg mixture, coating both sides well.
  4. Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and add a bit of butter. Cook the dipped cinnamon rolls for 2–3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and slightly crisp.
  5. Transfer them to a serving platter and serve warm with maple syrup, a dusting of powdered sugar to enjoy.
