A quick and easy breakfast recipe that transforms cinnamon rolls into crispy, gooey French toast slices with luscious cinnamon swirls and a perfect custard batter.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 package cinnamon rolls (usually 8 rolls), store-bought or homemade
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 cup (240 ml) milk (whole milk or 2%, or almond/oat milk for dairy-free)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon granulated or brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons butter (unsalted or salted) for cooking
  • Maple syrup or honey for serving

Instructions

  1. Slice the cinnamon rolls into about 4 equal slices (roughly 1-inch thick).
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon (if using), and sugar until combined and slightly frothy.
  3. Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon butter. Let it melt and foam but not brown.
  4. Dip each cinnamon roll slice into the custard mixture for about 10 seconds, turning to coat both sides. Avoid soaking too long.
  5. Place the dipped slices on the skillet and cook about 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and crisp. Add the remaining tablespoon of butter halfway through cooking.
  6. Transfer cooked slices to a warm plate or oven set to low heat while finishing the batch.
  7. Serve immediately topped with maple syrup, powdered sugar, or your favorite toppings.

Notes

Chill cinnamon rolls for 10 minutes before slicing if too sticky or fragile. Use medium heat to avoid burning. Flip carefully with a wide spatula. Reheat leftovers in toaster oven or skillet to maintain crispiness.
