Equipment
- Whisk
- Oven
- Chef's Knife
- Mixing Bowl
- Baking Sheet
Ingredients
- 2 cans Cans Pillsbury Cinnamon Rolls
- 3 large Eggs
- 1/2 cup Heavy Cream
- 2 tablespoon Butter, Melted
- 2 tablespoon Maple Syrup
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375˚F. It’s essential to get your oven nice and hot before baking for even cooking.
- Chop each cinnamon roll into 6 pieces. This helps them cook evenly and allows the egg mixture to soak in.
- Place all of the pieces in a 2-quart casserole dish. Make sure they’re distributed evenly for consistent baking.
- Set aside the icing container that comes with the cinnamon rolls for later.
- In a separate bowl, combine the eggs, heavy cream, butter, maple syrup, vanilla, and cinnamon. Whisk until well combined; this mix will create the custard that makes this casserole so delicious.
- Pour the egg mixture over the chopped cinnamon rolls, ensuring all pieces are coated. Shake the dish slightly so that everything settles evenly.
- Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 30 to 40 minutes or until it’s puffed and golden brown. You want it cooked through, but keep an eye on it to prevent burning.
- Remove the casserole from the oven, and let it sit for 10 minutes. This resting time will help it set up a bit more.
- Finally, drizzle the icing over the top of the casserole and serve warm. Enjoy this delightful breakfast treat!
Notes
- Check for Doneness: Ensure the casserole is fully cooked by inserting a toothpick; it should come out clean.
- Allow to Cool: Giving the casserole a few minutes to cool before cutting will help it hold its shape better.
- Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh cinnamon rolls and eggs make a significant difference in flavor and texture.
- Experiment with Toppings: Feel free to add nuts, fruit, or even a sprinkle of powdered sugar for extra sweetness when serving.
