Prep Time 30 minutes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 cinnamon rolls store-bought or homemade
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk whole or your preferred milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon optional
  • A pinch of salt
  • Butter or oil for frying
  • Essential Ingredients for the Cinnamon Roll
  • 2 tablespoons butter melted
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup icing sugar optional for drizzling

Instructions
 

  • Preparing the Cinnamon Rolls
  • Start by slicing the cinnamon rolls into 1-inch thick slices. If you're using store-bought cinnamon rolls, opt for fresh ones, as they hold up better in the batter. The slices should be thick enough to maintain their structure when dipped in the batter, but not so thick that they become difficult to cook.
  • Preparing the French Toast Batter
  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon (if using), and a pinch of salt. This creates the batter that will soak into the cinnamon roll slices, giving them a golden, crispy texture when fried.
  • Assembling and Cooking the Dish
  • Heat the Pan: Place a skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a small amount of butter or oil.
  • Dip the Cinnamon Rolls: Dip each slice of cinnamon roll into the French toast batter, making sure both sides are coated. Be sure not to soak the rolls for too long to avoid them becoming soggy.
  • Cook: Place the dipped cinnamon roll slices on the heated skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they turn golden brown and crispy.
  • Serve: Once cooked, transfer the French toast slices to a plate. Drizzle them with melted butter and top with a sprinkle of icing sugar if desired.
