Ingredients
Scale
1 (12.9 ounce) package refrigerated cinnamon rolls with icing
4 large eggs
1 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 cup butter, melted
Instructions
Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
Cut each cinnamon roll into quarters. Place the pieces evenly in the prepared baking dish.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and vanilla extract until combined.
In a separate small bowl, mix the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon.
Pour the egg mixture evenly over the cinnamon roll pieces in the dish. Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the top.
Drizzle the melted butter evenly over the entire casserole.
Cover the dish tightly with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
When ready to bake, preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Remove the plastic wrap.
Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the casserole is set and lightly golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes. Warm the icing packets that came with the rolls and drizzle over the top before serving.
Notes
For a slow-cooker version, place the assembled, uncovered casserole in a slow cooker. Cook on low for 3 to 4 hours. Do not add the icing until serving.
If you want a richer custard, substitute half-and-half for the milk.
This recipe uses canned dough for quick preparation.
