Cinnamon Roll French Toast

Method

Preparation Instructions

1

Prepare the Cinnamon Roll Base

Slice the cinnamon rolls in half horizontally to create a thick layer of cinnamon roll bread.

2

Make the Custard Mixture

In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon until well combined.

3

Soak the Cinnamon Rolls

Dip each half of the cinnamon rolls into the egg mixture, allowing them to soak for a few seconds on each side.

4

Cook the French Toast

In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the soaked cinnamon roll halves and cook until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.

5

Prepare the Cream Cheese Icing

In a small bowl, beat together the cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth. Set aside.

6

Make the Rum Butter Sauce

In a small saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Stir in the rum and brown sugar, cooking until the sugar dissolves and the sauce is slightly thickened.

7

Assemble the Dish

Place the cooked cinnamon roll French toast on serving plates. Drizzle with cream cheese icing, followed by the rum butter sauce. Top with fresh seasonal berries and a dollop of whipped cream.
