Print Recipe

A cozy, cinnamon-spiced overnight French toast bake made with refrigerated cinnamon rolls soaked in a rich custard and topped with a sweet glaze. Perfect for a comforting brunch or special breakfast.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 package refrigerated cinnamon rolls (8 count)
  • 4 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 cup (240 ml) whole milk
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup (50 g) granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • Icing packet from cinnamon rolls or homemade glaze (1/2 cup powdered sugar and 1-2 tablespoons milk or cream)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Cut cinnamon rolls into 6-8 bite-sized pieces.
  3. Place cinnamon roll pieces evenly in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish.
  4. In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, whole milk, heavy cream, sugar, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth and sugar dissolves.
  5. Pour custard evenly over cinnamon roll pieces, pressing down gently to submerge as many pieces as possible. Cover tightly with plastic wrap or foil and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight.
  6. Remove plastic wrap and bake uncovered for 35-40 minutes until top is golden and slightly crisp but inside remains tender and custardy. Tent with foil if edges brown too fast.
  7. Let cool for 5-10 minutes, then drizzle with icing packet or homemade glaze before serving.

Notes

Do not skip the overnight soak for best texture. Use room temperature eggs and milk to prevent curdling. Grease baking dish well to avoid sticking. Watch baking time closely to avoid burning. Optional: sprinkle extra cinnamon sugar or nuts on top before baking for added flavor and crunch.
