Ingredients
  

4 large cinnamon rolls (store-bought or homemade)

4 large eggs

1 cup whole milk

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

Pinch of salt

Butter (for greasing the pan)

Maple syrup (for serving)

Cream cheese frosting (optional, for drizzling)

Powdered sugar (for dusting)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Cinnamon Rolls:

    - If using store-bought cinnamon rolls, bake them according to the package instructions. Allow them to cool slightly, then cut each roll into quarters or eighths. If using homemade cinnamon rolls, ensure they are fully cooled before cutting.

      Make the French Toast Batter:

        - In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, and a pinch of salt until well combined.

          Soak the Cinnamon Roll Pieces:

            - Place the cut cinnamon roll pieces into the egg mixture, making sure they are all well-coated. Let them soak for about 5-10 minutes, allowing the cinnamon rolls to absorb some of the batter.

              Heat the Pan:

                - In a non-stick skillet or griddle, melt a tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Ensure the surface is evenly coated with butter.

                  Cook the Cinnamon Roll French Toast:

                    - Once the butter is sizzling, gently add the soaked cinnamon roll pieces to the pan. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and slightly crispy. Work in batches if needed, adding more butter to the pan as necessary.

                      Serve:

                        - Once cooked, transfer the Cinnamon Roll French Toast pieces to a serving plate. Drizzle with maple syrup, optional cream cheese frosting, and dust with powdered sugar for a delightful touch.

                          Garnish and Enjoy:

                            - Serve hot and enjoy your indulgent breakfast or brunch treat with a side of fresh fruit or whipped cream if desired.
