Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 can refrigerated cinnamon rolls with icing
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 cup (120 milliliters) milk or cream
Spices and Flavorings:
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Cooking and Serving:
- 1 tablespoon (15 grams) butter
- Powdered sugar
- Maple syrup
Instructions
- Deconstruct refrigerated cinnamon rolls into quarter-sized morsels, ensuring uniform bite dimensions for consistent cooking.
- Craft a luxurious French toast batter by whisking eggs with milk, introducing vanilla extract and ground cinnamon, blending ingredients until silky and homogeneous.
- Immerse each cinnamon roll fragment completely into the egg mixture, allowing thorough saturation and flavor absorption.
- Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat (approximately 350°F), melting butter to create a golden, aromatic cooking surface.
- Strategically place coated cinnamon roll pieces into the skillet, maintaining adequate spacing to prevent overcrowding and ensure crisp edges.
- Sauté each morsel for 2-3 minutes per side, rotating when achieving a rich, caramelized bronze color and ensuring interior is thoroughly heated.
- Transfer golden-brown bites onto a serving platter, elegantly drizzling the accompanying cream cheese icing or delicately dusting with powdered sugar.
- Present with maple syrup as an optional complementary dipping companion, creating a decadent breakfast experience.
Notes
- Ensure even coating by using a fork to dip and turn cinnamon roll pieces in the egg mixture, preventing uneven absorption.
- Work in small batches to maintain skillet temperature and achieve consistent golden-brown color on each bite.
- Customize dietary needs by using gluten-free cinnamon rolls or dairy-free milk alternatives for a more inclusive breakfast treat.
- Prevent soggy bites by patting excess egg mixture off rolls before cooking and maintaining medium heat for crispy exterior.
