Ingredients

Main Ingredients

1 package package of cinnamon rolls (standard size)
4 large eggs
1/2 cup milk (dairy or plant-based) Use full-fat milk for richer custard or swap for almond or oat milk for a dairy-free version.
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp ground cinnamon
Butter for cooking (or a neutral oil with a bit of butter for flavor)
Maple syrup and toppings of your choice (berries, whipped cream, chopped nuts)

Method

Preparation

Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat so it’s ready when you are.
In a bowl, whisk eggs, milk, vanilla, and ground cinnamon until smooth and slightly frothy.
Cut each cinnamon roll into quarters so the pieces are easy to dip and eat.
Dip each quarter into the egg mixture, turning to coat all sides and letting excess drip off.
Melt a knob of butter in the hot skillet and spread it into a thin layer.

Cooking

Place the coated pieces in a single layer, leaving space so they crisp rather than steam.
Cook 2–3 minutes per side, flipping when the first side is golden and caramelized. Adjust heat if they brown too quickly.
Serve immediately, drizzled with maple syrup and topped with berries, whipped cream, or nuts.
