Description
Cinnamon Roll French Toast is a delicious breakfast treat that combines the flavors of cinnamon rolls with the classic French toast preparation.
Ingredients
- 2 large cinnamon rolls (either store-bought or homemade)
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 tablespoon butter
- Maple syrup, for drizzling
- Powdered sugar, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Begin by heating a skillet or griddle over medium heat.
- In a bowl, combine the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and nutmeg, whisking until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
- Cut the cinnamon rolls into thick slices, approximately 1 inch in thickness.
- Dip each slice into the egg mixture, ensuring they soak for a few seconds on both sides to absorb the flavors.
- Once the skillet is hot, add the butter and let it melt.
- Carefully place the soaked cinnamon roll slices into the skillet, cooking them for about 3-4 minutes on each side until they turn a lovely golden brown and develop a slight crispiness.
- After cooking, transfer the slices to a plate and serve them warm, topped with a generous drizzle of maple syrup and a light dusting of powdered sugar if you wish.
Notes
- For an extra creamy texture, consider blending in a tablespoon of cream cheese with the egg mixture.
- You can also enhance the flavor by adding chopped nuts or chocolate chips to the cinnamon rolls before soaking them.
