Ingredients

• 6 pieces Cinnamon rolls (pre-baked or store-bought)
• 3 large Eggs
• 0.5 cups Whole milk
• 0.25 cups Heavy cream
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)
• 0.25 cups Maple syrup (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat.

Step 2

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg until fully combined.

Step 3

Slice each cinnamon roll in half horizontally to create two thinner rounds.

Step 4

Dip each cinnamon roll slice into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are well-coated. Let the excess mixture drip off before transferring to the skillet.

Step 5

Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in the skillet, spreading it evenly to prevent sticking.

Step 6

Place the coated cinnamon roll slices onto the skillet, cooking for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and slightly crisp around the edges. Work in batches if necessary.

Step 7

Add the remaining tablespoon of butter to the skillet as needed for subsequent batches.

Step 8

Transfer the cooked French toast slices to a serving platter and keep them warm if preparing multiple batches.

Step 9

Dust with powdered sugar for a decorative touch and serve with warm maple syrup if desired.
