Ingredients
Scale
Cinnamon Roll French Toast:
- 6 cinnamon rolls (store-bought or homemade)
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
For Serving:
- butter or cooking spray for the pan
- powdered sugar for serving (optional)
- maple syrup for serving
Instructions
- In a shallow bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt. This creates the custard mixture for the French toast.
- Slice the cinnamon rolls into 1-inch thick slices. This will allow for even cooking and better absorption of the egg mixture.
- Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or cooking spray. This prevents sticking and adds flavor.
- Dip each cinnamon roll slice into the egg mixture, coating both sides thoroughly. Ensure each slice is well-soaked for a creamy interior.
- Place the slices on the skillet and cook for 3 to 4 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. This creates a crispy exterior and soft interior.
- Remove from the skillet and keep warm. This ensures the French toast stays hot and delicious.
- Serve the French toast with powdered sugar and maple syrup if desired. Enjoy the sweet and delightful flavors!
Notes
- Use fresh cinnamon rolls for best flavor.
- You can warm the icing from the cinnamon rolls and drizzle on top before serving.
- For a crowd, keep cooked slices warm in a low oven while finishing the rest.
