Cinnamon rolls grilled into French toast
Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 15 minutes
Course Breakfast, Brunch
Servings 10 Slices

Equipment

  • Griddle or skillet

Ingredients
  

  • 5 cinnamon rolls canned, store-bought or homemade (no icing)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tsp brown sugar
  • 1/2 tsp nutmeg
  • butter for griddle
  • toppings of choice (syrup, sugar, fruit, etc.)

Instructions
 

  • If you're using canned cinnamon rolls, preheat oven and cook according to directions on package. I use Pillsbury Grands (original, not flaky)
  • In a shallow bowl, combine, milk, eggs, vanilla, brown sugar and nutmeg. Whisk together. A blender can be used as well.
  • Cut each cinnamon roll in half length-wise. This will give you double the amount, giving you 10 slices.
  • Dip one slice of the cinnamon rolls at a time into egg mixture until fully coated. Allow some of the excess mixture to drip off.
  • Place cinnamon rolls in heated, buttered griddle, doughy side down first. Cook thoroughly, or until golden brown on bottom. About 2 - 3 minutes.
  • Flip cinnamon rolls to other side. This side is more than like already browned, so you will not need to cook as long. About 1 minute.
  • Repeat until all cinnamon rolls are cooked.
  • Serve warm with toppings of choice.

Notes

As you are cooking, keep an eye on it, and reduce heat as needed if you notice they are cooking too quickly.
Toppings that go great are syrup of choice, fruit topping and powdered sugar.
