Description

This irresistible Cinnamon Roll French Toast Casserole effortlessly combines two beloved breakfast treats into one spectacular dish. Using canned cinnamon rolls for ease, it’s baked in a rich, spiced custard, studded with pecans, and finished with a sweet icing drizzle. Perfect for a decadent brunch or a fuss-free holiday morning.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cans (approx. 20 oz / 570g total) Cinnamon Rolls, with icing
  • 1/2 cup (113g) Butter, melted
  • 1/3 cup (67g) Granulated Sugar
  • 2 large Eggs
  • 3/4 cup (180ml) Heavy Whipping Cream (or half & half)
  • 3 tsp Ground Cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp Ground Nutmeg
  • 2 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 1/2 cup (50g) Chopped Pecans

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Custard Base: Preheat oven to 350˚F (175˚C) and grease a 9×12 inch casserole dish. In a large glass bowl, melt butter, then whisk in sugar. Beat in eggs, heavy whipping cream, cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  2. Assemble the Casserole: Slice each cinnamon roll into quarters. Add pieces to the egg mixture and toss to coat thoroughly. Pour coated pieces into the greased casserole dish, spreading evenly. Pour any leftover egg mixture over the top.
  3. Add Pecans & Bake: Sprinkle chopped pecans over the casserole. Bake on a low rack for 35-40 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out mostly clean. For a moist interior, bake for about 35 minutes.
  4. Glaze and Serve: Remove from oven. Warm icing from cinnamon roll packages in the microwave for 15 seconds; pour evenly over the warm casserole. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Make Ahead Option: Prepare the casserole the night before (without pecans). Cover and refrigerate. Add pecans just before baking in the morning.
  • Moisture Preference: For a slightly moister casserole, bake closer to 35 minutes; for a firmer texture, bake closer to 40 minutes.
