Ingredients
For the French Toast:
6 cinnamon rolls (homemade or store-bought)
3 large eggs
¾ cup milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tbsp sugar (optional)
Pinch of salt
Butter or oil for cooking
Optional Toppings:
Powdered sugar
Maple syrup
Cream cheese icing (from the cinnamon rolls or homemade)
Fresh fruit (strawberries or bananas)
Instructions
Prep the Cinnamon Rolls
Cut cinnamon rolls into quarters or thick slices. Let them air out for 10 minutes to dry slightly for better custard absorption.
Make the Custard
In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, vanilla, cinnamon, sugar (if using), and a pinch of salt.
Dip & Soak
Dip each cinnamon roll piece into the custard and let it soak for 10–15 seconds on each side.
Cook
Heat a skillet over medium heat and add butter. Cook each piece for 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown and crisp.
Serve
Serve warm with your favorite toppings like cream cheese icing, maple syrup, powdered sugar, or fresh fruit.
Notes
Day-old cinnamon rolls work best—they’re sturdier and soak up custard without falling apart.
Keep the heat at medium to avoid burning the outside before the inside cooks.
Keep cooked pieces warm in a 200°F (90°C) oven if making a big batch.
Fun Variations:
Stuffed: Add cream cheese in the center of each roll slice before soaking.
Baked: Arrange soaked pieces in a baking dish and bake at 350°F (180°C) for 18–22 minutes.
Apple Pie Style: Top with sautéed apples and caramel sauce.
Chocolate Drizzle: Add melted chocolate or Nutella on top for a dessert twist.
