Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces Cinnamon rolls (pre-baked or store-bought)
- 3 large Eggs
- 0.5 cups Whole milk
- 0.25 cups Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)
- 0.25 cups Maple syrup (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg until fully combined.
Slice each cinnamon roll in half horizontally to create two thinner rounds.
Dip each cinnamon roll slice into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are well-coated. Let the excess mixture drip off before transferring to the skillet.
Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in the skillet, spreading it evenly to prevent sticking.
Place the coated cinnamon roll slices onto the skillet, cooking for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and slightly crisp around the edges. Work in batches if necessary.
Add the remaining tablespoon of butter to the skillet as needed for subsequent batches.
Transfer the cooked French toast slices to a serving platter and keep them warm if preparing multiple batches.
Dust with powdered sugar for a decorative touch and serve with warm maple syrup if desired.
