Ingredients
  

Cinnamon Rolls
  • 1 can (12.4 ounces) refrigerated cinnamon rolls with icing Set icing aside
French Toast Batter
  • 2 large eggs room temperature
  • 2/3 cup whole milk
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
For Serving

Equipment

  • Large skillet
  • shallow bowl

Method
 

  1. Bake the cinnamon rolls according to the package directions. Set the icing aside for later use.
  2. Let the baked cinnamon rolls cool slightly, then slice each roll in half horizontally to create two flat pieces.
  3. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Coat the surface with cooking spray.
  4. In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla extract, and cinnamon until combined.
  5. Working in batches, dip each cinnamon roll half into the egg/milk mixture, coating for about 30 seconds per side. Transfer the dipped rolls to the hot skillet.
  6. Cook the rolls for 2 to 3 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown.
  7. Serve the French toast immediately with butter, maple syrup, and the reserved icing, using as much as you prefer.
