Ingredients
  

For the Bites
  • 5 leftover cinnamon rolls baked and cooled
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream or whole milk
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter for the skillet
For Serving

Equipment

Method
 

  1. Cut each leftover cinnamon roll in half horizontally.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, sugar, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon until smooth.
  3. Dip each halved cinnamon roll into the egg mixture, coating both sides well.
